Someone had to say this: how is this (even remotely) HN material? Let me guess: it's about "hacking" dating. Yeah, right. And rape is about hacking sex?



Data analysis and trending is topical to this audience. There are a lot of startups that could use techniques like this to increase return visits--instruct your users how to be more successful.


It also analyzes what sort of language people tend to be receptive to (at least on dating sites... possibly elsewhere, too).

This could be useful if you're trying to create a rapport with users on your own website (albeit through one way communication).


Yeah, I wonder how "How's it going?" or "Yo" fare against a simple "Hi" in customer relations. Maybe there's something to be said for making that less formal.


That's an intelligent answer. Thanks for clarifying.


Don't hackers need love too?
