So my question is to you, what is your marketing plan for your sites? Lots of pre-launch marketing? Wait until it has been launched and market?
Some of what I have done in the past to market other sites:
SEO
Article marketing
Pay per click
Digg, del.icio.us, etc...
Craigslist

I'd definitely wait until your site is developed before you start publicly marketing it. You don't want people to visit a site that is not ready yet, because they will most likely not return.
The first thing is to try and get people to the domain, give them a head up of what’s the over all service is and pitch them on giving you their email or name and email.
From that you want to get some press from bloggers in the mark, you can do this buy writing a nice press release and (for free) emailing it to any blogger you can find, as well as, trying to touch base with them and get it published. Don’t forget forums if you can get the link in their.
While that is happening you are building out the service, getting links, and growing the hype of the product. Time you get to launch your platform will be larger than when you started and you will be able to email all them people that joined your email list, every blogger that you emailed before including the ones that never posted about your product, and after that you throw in some paid reviews and maybe some other simple marketing ideas and call it a day.
