If it wouldn't take long, would you be interested in helping me out with some kind of marketing strategy? I just launched a beta for Noobindex.com, a social site for gamers, but I don't even know where to start in terms of getting noticed by gaming blogs, guilds, clans, etc. I've tried before and failed miserably.

Btw: Posterous is good example of easiest possible sign up. You simply send an e-mail and get password & confirmation in a reply. That's two lines less than asking for username+pass+e-mail.
