This is what "growth hacking" really looks like today...
1. Manipulate a non-perfect signal-to-noise ratio ranking scheme with the most traffic (PageRank/EdgeRank)
2. Gain massive popularity
3. Sell your business to a greater fool
4. Ranking scheme changes rendering your model worthless
Demand Media, Zynga, Socialcam, etc. etc. ....and now BuzzFeed. The list goes on and on. The winners are the investors and the ones creating the ranking themselves, no one else.
