It's no surprise that BangWithFriends got popular. A product that helps people hook up is pretty much guaranteed to be successful. Case in point: Okcupid, Faceb

- santa_boy 13y agoWhy is it no surprise? How is it guaranteed!!? Further ... to the OP Did they really get 1m users? The traction surprises me. Any idea on how they went about marketing their app?
- rossmckelvie 13y agoYes, BWF has acquired over 1m users. There was a very large internet buzz a few months back (and continued to date, but not as much coverage as the initial launch shock) where at least half of the users were acquired, featured on Colbert Report, TC, Mashable, etc. A lot of the press came from the unconventional/edgy nature of the website. There was also marketing efforts at SXSW this year: http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/08/bang-with-sxsw/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/08/bang-with-sxsw/
