So I'm this mobile app company, I want to spread the word about my apps as well as build a support system through Twitter, Facebook, etc.

What's the best way to promote yourself using Social Media?

Lately, I've been posting my Twitter link in the comments section of different blogs I read, been posting my updates and trying to use hashtags but I'm sure I'm missing a big way to gain followers and put myself in the stream of iPhone app talk on Twitter.

What do you guys suggest?

Use big forums I suppose.

I know many people that have done that.

Free advertising can be a better way to promote your self and business . It's more effective, costs much less, and won't ruin your reputation like high cost ads can.
The idea of forums is also very good.

We have been using a wide variety of blog and social media outlets in order to get the word out for apps that our team reviews.

Checkout Apple Iphone Applications, Reviews, and Development - SmartAppDevelopers.com
We are in the midst of reviewing apps. So if you have an app that you would like reviewed *UNBIASED!!! give us your app name we will pay for it and download it.

Send us a quick description and we will let you know when we will download and review it!

And if you want shameless advertising go to top50iapps.com register and promote yourself free. Mind the cheezy graphics for now its very beta. But the more links to your own sites the better!!

Cheers!

If you don't have a ready hook that's usage-based, then I'd try the good old shotgun approach combined with rock-solid analytics. See what sticks and scale. Targeting helps too.

I agree that free advertising is a better way to promote your self and business.
and blog commenting is one of them.
