Here are a few ideas:
You have to talk to people
Network
Go out in the world and leave your computer to actually generate interest by talking up your product
Join the chamber of commerce, go to the events, get local interest.
Do some broad marketing with twitter, the radio, tv, local ads, signs, flyers, send out direct mail.
Narrow marketing, cold calling, PPC ads, setup meetings with people you "think" might have interest.
Pick up the phone, call a company you "think" might want your product - if they don't they may even tell you who does.
Call all your friends, their friends, their parents, their cousins and neighbors.
Think outside the box. Go viral with a video, a strange campaign, a giveaway, advertise on podcasts, or on blogs.
Email bloggers to review your product.
Ask your tweet followers to help you spread the word with a hash tag.
Create a page in Facebook, blab about it a little and have your friends help spread the word.
Go to info-sites in your niche and pay them to advertise.
Join some forums, be a voice, make some friends, and try hard to be a part of the conversation - not a spammer.
Post a beta/try me link to HN, Reddit, BoS, KillerStartups

Or, you could put up a website and cross your fingers. (I'd cross your toes too if you're going this route)
