Cheap or Free Ways to Promote Young Companies?

[M-M]

My wife and I have started AllTheseBooks.com, a site dedicated to promoting new authors. It is starting to gain momentum, but I'm still looking for more exposure.
Here is what we are already doing: MySpace, MySpace groups, reader/book forums, Yahoo answers, reviews submitted to several websites, directories, blog comments, mutual promotions.

I want to do a press release and wondered what others can recommend - it has to be free though, at least for now. I know this limits us, but there's no other way.

We have 5 interviews with authors scheduled. What would be good places (other than our site and our MySpace) to submit them?

And to those who have released books: What places did you use to promote your book?

Any help is much appreciated.
