Hmm, lets just think about creative ways or just ways period to promote anything. Always remember the best promotional ideas usually are not very expensive, yea expensive ones work well, but those are common and I am sure the site has thought about those.
List is not in any order.
1.Spread the word. You are already doing this. I just looked up the website, and actually it got me interested. Post blogs, and sending out electronic newsletters are two easy ways of promoting any business online.
2. Promote Your Site in Online Forums and Discussion Lists
3. A banner, meaning a website banner, a little photo promoting the website which a person can click that will take them directly to the website.
example: http://task.fm/images/showcase.jpg make this so when people click it, it will take them directly to the site
4. Offer products as a free bonus. Or say you get 2 months free, for the Pro Account
5. Write Keyword so when people look up words that relate to your website, your website will pop up in the search
6. Make visuals and audio ads such as Video, Images, and Audio
7. Ask Visitors to Bookmark Your Site, I love bookmarks lol
8. Not sure if the site has this, but have people who are already using this site share it with their friends, and a reward for doing this could be like 10 extra free text, and if their friend joins like 40 extra

Hmm.. thats only 8 so far, if I think of more I will add them, by commenting on what I have already wrote

Wow. I’ve got a list of ideas on my site on how to promote your website, but not specifically how to promote an app, but a LOT of things apply:
http://www.deepfriedwebdesign.com/51-ways-to-market-your-website.html

If you’ve done any research at all, you’ve probably seen similar lists, so nothing really new there…

But here’s a few observations:

Ok. First thing: Fix your site. The following pages parse incorrectly when using IE8 and Safari4: About, FAQ, and Pricing.
(or did you mean to have that HUGE blank spot on the left side and all the text at the bottom in really small type when using BOTH IE8 –in both regular and compatibility mode and Safari 4?) Does work well with Firefox 3 and Google Chrome. Ok, so you only lost half of your users right there, as IE8 has been phased in with MS updates and most people really don’t know the difference.

Second, Fix your META TAGS. Nothing is showing in Meta Description, or Meta Keywords. Yes, I know it is an old link, but description is still important http://www.seomoz.org/blog/making-the-most-of-meta-description-tags

Third, search Engines don’t like stuff like ‘?PHPSESSID=90RPLoKe%2ClJmulejLZgeB-mGrB1” in the Url. One of your people should fix it quickly. Like yesterday. Google really matters. Currently on Google you only have ONE link to task.fm and that’s the main page- how about all the links and maybe a link tree under your result? Can happen if you fix the stop characters in the url…

Fourth, read what people are saying about your product. Fix those issues. Answer those issues on their blogs. The creator of Magicjack did this and it garnered a lot of faith in the community that he would answer questions himself. That will also get you backlinks..

Make a plugin for Office 2007 where people can click and submit their current tasks in Outlook quickly with just a couple of clicks. Also make a java applet for sites where people could click to be reminded of an event. Outlook has this with the ‘add to Outlook’ function. Currently someone has to call or email, thus adding a step and a chance they will forget and not use your service.

Ok, after you fix that stuff, lets do some marketing. Find out who your target market is… Let’s say mid 20-40s professionals.. Unemployed people don’t need reminders..
Ideas:

Get some young filmmaker to make a series of youtube shorts that talk about your product. Show how life could be better using your product. Get those videos in front of eyeballs anyway you can. Youtube is good if you don’t keyword spam. Maybe have a chance to win $50 instantly (once an hour or so) when you use the service.

Make a Facebook app and a page if you don’t have one already. Give your Facebook friends free stuff, -task reminders, shirts, key chains, whatever.. Just get the social media people talking about you. Also do it with other social sites, but I’d stay away from Myspace. Don't get too caught up with this though:http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2009/04/07/are-you-socializing-your-business-into-obscurity.aspx

Blackberry and Iphone apps. Sure they are PDAs already, but will they email you at the office to remind you? Nope-they beep whatever, but generally are useless if they are left at home, the office whatever. With an app and your site they remind people via email, sms, phone (maybe a different number…)
Tech events. I’d get this thing in front of all the tech conferences and business conferences I could afford. Free reminder services at the booth, a couple of laptops setup and a chance to win $1000 if you use the service. It builds your mailing list right there..

Finally, figure out what sets you apart from others who have the similar services. When you figure that out, drive it home to anyone who will listen… What you do differently than the others is important.

HTH,

Danny
