Growth Hacking is just a fancy name for growing your products reach by adding functionality that makes it spread faster.

I'm sick of hearing people call themselves growth hackers after adding Facebook integration and sharing buttons.

Despite the "fad" it's a very important area where almost everyone falls down.

The results Mint, airbnb and path got from "facebook integration and sharing buttons" is spectacular and should not be overlooked.

Wait, I thought it was about making yourself into a better person.

Edit: Damn it that's "life hacking" I think. I was wrong. Guess I'm not hackery enough for the hacker club.
