Like other startups and makers of all things web, we try and promote what we have done to get some validation, community and ultimately paying customers.
Having promoted my product, there are valid signups from potential customers but certainly more SEO consultants, Seed Investors/Incubators and Security researchers looking for opportunity.
I haven't heard much about everyone else's experience on this, but every promotion to startup directories, lists etc results in a response soon after, its seems these companies and individuals are basically just monitoring and acting on all these submissions.
I suspect this is normal, is everyone else experiencing this?
Your thoughts?
