App idea, service that hits all of the links and submits your startup.

Oh wow. Remember those "submit your link to these search engines" sites back in the late nineties / early 00s? Or "site of the day" sites? What is old is new again. Genuine question: how many of these sites (except for resources like Crunchbase) are actually visited by real people? I'd love for someone to test the impact of submitting to all of these.

  You can use Alexa rank and other public metrics as a crude first-approximation of how many visitors a site gets. In my experience it's usually accurate to within an order of magnitude for sites that aren't incredibly big or incredibly small. Here are the results for the first 10 domains on the list: domain daily visitors ------------------------------------ 101bestwebsites 5,000 aboutyourstartup 3,500 alltopstartups 11,000 alternativeto 1,750,000 angel.co 500,000 appappeal 15,000 appmit 400 apps400 5,000 appuseful 3,000 appvita 6,000

You can also promote your startup on my "Internet Startups" Google+ community, posting (only once) under the "Introduce your startup" category: https://plus.google.com/communities/100445483815501942968 https://plus.google.com/communities/100445483815501942968

Web app directories? Is it 1995 all over again? Are we going to have webrings again?

  As long as we can have guestbooks too.

  Many of these sites have real visitors. Even lesser known sites can dozen around a hundred visitors to your page...which is better than nothing.
