+1 from me. Also, you might want to start up a blog / wiki or something similar to get some critical mass in terms of users. People are more likely to come across your site and sign up if there's some content to draw them. And they'll hang around (perhaps) if there are other people there to reply to their posts. Best of luck, anyway. Ralph
