There's a recruiting post (see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3881446) on HN that mentions Socialcam gained 4M users this weekend. How did they do it?

I can see how being featured in the App Store can give you 100K users, but 4 million? Really?

Reposted (blatantly stolen):

1) It's featured in the app store under "New & Noteworthy"

2) It ranks #2 for "Video Camera" searches

3) When you connect Socialcam to Facebook it says, "This app may post on your behalf, including videos you watched, people you followed and more."
