I'd be creating branded ninja throwing stars (cardboard or card stock) and giving them out at IT events. Heck, I'd be going to a conference DRESSED as a ninja and doing that.

We've been encouraging our users to spread the word, but I think you're right...we need to do more to get people to tell others. DM me at @nathanwburke with your email address and I'll send you a wave invite. Natalie- Thanks. the software is free, so we’re giving it away to anyone.

The best advertising I've found has been by word of mouth. Give out 20-30 copies to some local or national businesses, with an agreement that if they like the application, they will forward your information on to at least 5-10 other local companies or business partners.
