To be frank, we at TimeGlider (formerly Mnemograph) has made very few efforts to promote ourselves. About two years ago, we sent out invitations to about 30 prominent education technology bloggers telling them about ourselves, and have done little else since then. Strictly through word-of-mouth (delicious, twitter, blogs, etc etc) we’ve grown to having about 12,000 users. That’s pretty small by most standards, but a nice number when one considers it to be “organic” growth. It’s a clear testament to the power of our current networking and broadcasting tools.
Most recently, we’ve caught the attention of Mashable, the New York Times, and the BBC:
In September ‘09 we were featured in a Mashable article on novel writing tools:

Just before Christmas we appeared in the New York Times education section:

And we got the new year off with a bang with some fabulous coverage on the BBC’s ‘Click’ program, including a very nice video segment (about 1/2 way through)

So thank you to those of you who’ve helped spread the word. As I’ve said, 2010 promises to be a year of leaps and bounds.
