Niche blogs - There are people who don't get a lot of freebies who will actually do a full write-up in exchange for a free trial etc. Without knowing what your product is, it's hard to reccomend anything to specific in this category.
Twitter - Tweet about new features, promotions, related news at least once a day. This is also a nice informal way for your users to speak directly to you in a public forum.
Company blog - Get a Tumblr or something and have this feed to your tweets as well.

My startup offers online surveys, which are mainly used for research, company and employee evaluation, and feedback.
I don't consider the service so glamorous, but I think its useful and I'd like to spread the word as much as possible. I come from a programming side, so I can make all the website magic happens, promoting my website does not come so naturally to me.
