You should almost certainly start trying to generate buzz.

I put together a list of media contacts at loudstartup.com, though it's primarily for tech-related startups. Might be of help.

Nice list. You should add The Startup Foundry too. http://www.thestartupfoundry.com

EDIT: nevermind, didn't notice there was more than one page. You should put the page navigation at the top of the page.

Thanks! That site was built, VERY quickly. I actually created a thread in which I referred to it as the '2 hour startup', cause I built it (in Django) while I was stuck on the most boring and pointless conference call ever.

It's on the list, they're just sorted by 'reach', which is to say, the number of unique visitors they get in a month (as best I can estimate).

StartupFoundry is currently at the bottom of Page 3, if you're looking for it.
