Personally, I'm sick of the invite codes. I don't feel special and it has become so common. Just do a soft launch here. If your app is good, it will spread.

If you're hoping to get some special benefit from Techcrunch, beyond the initial burst of traffic, I think you'll be disappointed. edit: Did a quick search on Google, this article might help you: http://onstartups.com/home/tabid/3339/bid/169/Startups-Why-TechCrunch-Traffic-Can-Be-Too-Much-of-a-Mediocre-Thing.aspx http://onstartups.com/home/tabid/3339/bid/169/Startups-Why-T...

Yeah I don't really care about the traffic. I just though that if TC didn't cover your launch first, they would ignore you forever. Thanks for that link, that is some good advice.

  There may be some truth to that. Don't lose your one opportunity to do it right.

    I disagree. If your app is useful, and you get a good userbase, they'll mention you soon enough if there is a competitor, or related company, or you do something new/cool/etc.
