Posting on Hacker News is a good start. But I would consider leveraging social networks to help spread the word. Here are a few options:
-You can integrate Facebook Connect or Twitter Signin to get users to link their accounts to their thematchinggame.com profile.

-You could also ask them to tweet or to like your website whenever they signup.
-You could also create a simple contest for an iPad 2, and users would need to invite the most friends possible to be eligible. Or you could ask them to like or tweet the contest.
