Thanks. Our product is somewhat specialized (bioinformatics) and we've gotten some traction among that demographic. Was wondering if Reddit/Digg will boost it much :) On 2nd thoughts, you're right. I will go submit on Reddit and friends. More eyes on it the better.

You might be aware of this already, but when posting to Reddit, make sure to use the appropriate subreddit - in your case http://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics http://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics, which has 2,790 subscribers. Posting to Reddit generically won't get you anywhere. If your product has a certain application angle that could be interesting/funny/relevant to larger subreddits you could try to create an infographic hosted on imgur - as cool as Reddit's community is, their attention spans are rather short and most people won't read / upvote a lengthy article (safe specific subreddits, I bet things over at r/bioinformatics are different.) Good luck with your startup. EDIT: semantics.

  I read /r/programming regularly. Hadn't thought of looking for /r/bioinformatics! Btw, EyeQuant looks nice, but the activation email went to Spam (Y! Mail for small businesses), and the password in there isn't working :(

  My bad regarding the password. Had copied surrounding whitespace.
