I have only recently started submitting my short stories for publication in a systematic way, and yesterday I found this great website (that you probably already know about, but I'm going to share it anyway): duotrope.

It lets you search for suitable lit mags with all sorts of different criteria (like acceptance ratio...whether they pay...how long your story/poem/whatever is), and you can track your submissions. I am still using my little excel spreadsheet that I made a few months ago for that, but anyway, it's pretty awesome.

It's like the Novel and Short Story Writer's Market, but less professional, and a lot more...desperate, I think is the word I'm looking for.

Edit: well, the link is working now. I need to stop throwing up posts in a hurry.
