But you know what? After pouring over far too many blog posts and needlessly shovelling through various resources created by an ever-growing cadre of 'growth hack3rz', we got sick of coming across the "same ol', same ol'" examples.

Just because Hotmail did something considered to be a marketing "hack" in the 90's doesn't mean that it is just as relevant in today's cut-throat startup world saturated with SaaS startups of every which flavour.

What about all of the new and shiny tactics that cutting-edge marketers are using to blaze today's growth hacking trails? Or, to put it another way: "where is all of the cool new s@#t?" As it turns out, scattered across the far (and not so far) reaches of the startup blogosphere.
