I like the idea behind HARO, it's just a pain for me to go through the listings they send out 3 times a day.

Yeah I hear ya. If you use Gmail you can create a filter so it doesn't hit your inbox and just check it weekly

Is it too late at that point?

[rishi → tocomment]

For some probably. For most it won't be to late. A lot of people on there are writing books or articles that they plan on publishing way later.

Plus its always a good thing if a reporter knows about you in case they have future stories.

Repost of my comment on rishi's blog:

I’ve been subscribed to HARO for awhile now. I got one of my projects featured in a blog about writing and I made a contact that may result in some press around February. It is the real deal.

Oh I’ve also referred several reporters to friends of mine. So its good for karma too.

Rishi is right though, it takes time to go through all the queries each day. Several times I’ve pondered writing software to help “smartly” filter this (meager AI background on my part).
