I strongly disagree with this, if it is presented as a beta snapshot. It is 
just very bad for your app marketing wise (considering the fact that some 
apps will be in unstable state and have many bugs and unfinished features).  
If the snapshots are presented as daily snapshots, then it is ok for me. 
Nobody expects daily snapshots to be stable.

Remember they can also do the opposite of promoting it, if the software is 
unfinished and buggy.
