Thanks, I feel now a bit more comforted. I've recently realized that I've spent for mine more than a year.

Put something soft out there, send a little traffic to it. Tweak it, perfect it, add some more features and functionality, etc etc.

IMO that's the best way to get something up and out there. First impressions are important, and no matter what you throw at it in a dev environment things never go 100% smooth. I've seen a handful of people do a simultaneous product, affiliate program, launch announcement on a half cooked product.
Good point! I agree but there is one thing you need to be careful before the launch. If you do it too early others will copy your idea (if it's unique and not yet copied) and they will push it even a step forward and you will lose. Imho it's better to make sure you will be always a step forward, so no one will catch up you and everyone will know that your site was the first one of this type. It's like with Facebook or Google, both of them pushed it to the level that makes them unequalled.
