Youngfook, congrats with launching another online venture. I'm your "follower" since the days of OpenSourceFood. The most important question I raise with submission services (like your PeterPings and AppLaunch) is that followed traffic would not be targeted. "Why A Link from TechCrunch Will Not Make You Rich" - this excellent article by Rob Walling better describes this issue: http://j.mp/VXJoDp

Thanks for the support! I'd answer by saying that we are not a "make you rich" service. For that, we'd be charging a lot more! Distributing your information to various sites just increases the chances of you being discovered. The more you put yourself out there, the more you're likely to be reviewed or mentioned or shared.

It sounds like I'm not the only one here who wants to use this for marketing a web app - do you have some sort of a mailing list I can subscribe to for updates? I'm sending you an email directly but if you do I'd like to subscribe. If not you may be missing a charm!

Congrats. Nice looking site! It's an interesting space - we've been working on AppLaunch (http://applaunch.us) for around 6 months and have been blown away by the user response and the press response to a consistent format of submission.

Would love to chat some time if you're interested - Chris -at- applaunch.us.

sorry to reply late but if you sign up I'll add you to the user mailing list - we'll be notifying all users when we add Android and Web app support!
