== Overview ==
Congratulations on completing your app! Now its time to tell the world about it. This step will suggest a few strategies for announcing your app to the Cytoscape community and beyond.

== Process ==

=== Email Announcements ===
Emails to the [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cytoscape-helpdesk | cytoscape-helpdesk]] and [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cytoscape-discuss | cytoscape-discuss]] lists are a great way to announce your app. Be sure to include a short description of your app, intended use and how to access your app. A nice screenshot is a great way to create interest.

=== Social Media ===
Tweet about your app, and be sure to include @cytoscape for retweets.
