I don't quite understand what the hack was for the Tinder one. She just optimized her profile for likes? And added a banner saying match of the day? Not the hack I was expecting.

sorry, the good link : http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-02-19/new-tinder-s...

This one is much more troubling, and fits in more with your other links. I guess the lesson here is to treat everything like it's a beta, because that seems to be the nature of app and game development these days.

Agreed. Seemed more like 'growth hacking' or social engineering for popularity.

Don't forget the much publicized co-founder fight coered by every tech blog, deposition videos to follow.
