Ask HN: So, how did the recent PR advice work for you?

Following on from the two recent topics on HN,

How has the advice given in those two threads worked out for you?

I've been promoting one of my apps (http://www.whos-playing.com) on relevant Facebook groups, I also submitted it to Stumbleupon and I've been pushing it out to blogs & podcasts.

I've had little or no traffic from Facebook, Stumbleupon gave a good spike the day I submitted it, but since then not a single referral.

There's a little bit of interest from blogs & podcasts, but no actual coverage yet, however I admit this is an area that needs more work on my part.

There's more I can do on Facebook, and the blogs, but how as the advice you got from HN helped promote your app?
