How to market web-based software?

    I'm looking for a "softpedia for web-based software". I have developed software that allows non-technical users to create animated iPad and iPhone books. The software is totally free to use, then when a user's book is ready to publish, we split the commissions. *See my signature for the exact website.

    Its brand new and I'm wondering about some basic channels to get the word out.

    I know there are several sites where people go and download software for free (e.g. softpedia). I'm looking for something similar for web-based software. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I am aware of these sites, but I want to know for WEB-BASED software. I don't have a PAD file to submit, and no one can download the software, it is used on online only.

    Would you preferably not want to target literature creating websites, as you'll be looking for people to create content to earn from? If so, I'd say to start with a few forums and post, but not many as it can be time consuming, and also have a look at prominent websites that may allow you to advertise for free.
