Personally, I've found it difficult to get much attention online. I guess I've just been off doing weird stuff for too long to interest most programmers. Every time I hear stories of so-and-so making a website that caught on like wildfire overnight, it's often times attributable to a good network of contacts who already knew that person and all tweeted for him. I think having contacts is very important, and those people who can conquer that fear of sharing too much are the ones who'll build the best relationships, and by doing so, have more frequent successes.
