When you start hearing about someone/something from multiple, seemingly unrelated sources, it builds credibility. Of course, after just hearing about Zemanta a single time from Venture Hacks I have already installed it and really like it.

I don't think most investors mind hearing about the same startup from multiple high-quality sources. Agreed about choosing your referrers wisely.

Sure, do whatever you can to increase your visibility (via StartupList and blogs) but choose your referrer as carefully as you can and don't send more than one introduction into the pipeline at any one time.
