Domain Hacks
In other words, the “trick” for a domain hack is to turn the top level domain, often a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) into a part of the desired brand name, or generic term or phrase. And, following wikipedia, “hacking”, as it is used here, corresponds to uses in programming, meaning “clever coding (tricks)”, but surely not to a meaning like “breaking in”.
Brands That Use a Domain Hack
Examples for well-known brands/companies which acquired and actively use domain hacks are:
well-known brands that use domain hacks
instagr.am
youtu.be
bi.ng
ti.me
pep.si
redd.it
so.cl (run by Microsoft)
and many others.
While all of the aforementioned companies also hold the corresponding .com names (i.e., instagram.com, youtube.com, etc.), it is worth mentioning that Microsoft redirects socl.com to the “hacked” version so.cl, thus favoring the latter.
Other well-known examples are:
blo.gs (first acquired by Yahoo, later by Automattic)
inter.net (a German Internet Service Provider. Note that this company does not own the corresponding .com domain internet.com)
Domain Hacks for URL Shortening Services
Companies that build and offer URL shortening services are for instance:
bit.ly, which is a “brandable” domain hack, as “bitly” is an invented word that (at the time of writing) can not be found in a dictionary
po.st
awe.sm
Notice that the latter two (po.st and awe.sm) build entirely on the domain hacks, that is they do not hold their corresponding .com names. For all three companies, URL shorteners are a part of their brand building strategies offered to business customers, targeting particularly the social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
“Crunching” the Word for a Short Domain Hack
Obviously, “awe.sm” corresponds to a “crunched” version of the word “awesome” (“crunching” here refers to shortening or condensing the word by leaving out letters, preferably those which would be most insignificant during the reading and perception process. Often, these are some or even all vowels of the word). There is more than one way to “hack” the word “awesome”, especially when including “crunched” versions of the word. On a side note, awes.me redirects to bitly.com (status quo at the time of writing). Of course, “awes.me” can also be read as “(it) awes me”.
“Letter crunching” often plays an important role when finding a good short company name or a domain hack: well-known examples include
crunched names for brand names
dlvr.it
flic.kr, which redirects to flickr.com
Domain hacks are a good way to build a URL shortener for a brand, and often “crunched” versions resembling the original brand name are used. For example:
The New York Times (nytimes.com) has nyti.ms as URL shortener, using the services of bit.ly
Techcrunch.com has tcrn.ch as URL shortener, using the services of bit.ly (before, they had used awe.sm)
Google.com has its own URL shortener at goo.gl (as well as at g.co)
Facebook.com has fb.me as a URL shortener, and another one, on.fb.me, has been integrated into bit.ly accounts
Crunching is not always used, for example orange.com runs its own URL shortener at oran.ge.

In an extreme case, the original brand is reduced to only one letter:
twitter.com: t.co
amazon.com: a.co
google.com: g.co
All three domains are used as URL shorteners by the respective companies.
Generic Domain Hacks and Domain Hacks Expressing Phrases
Besides brands, domain hacks can also be more generic, or express a short phrase, take for example:
short phrases as domain hacks
who.is
fold.it
sync.me
about.me
Besides many others, these are all active sites at the time of writing. In general, the use of domain hacks is known to be very popular especially within the social communities.

Quote
Quoting wikipedia:
“A domain hack is a domain name that suggests a word, phrase, or name when concatenating two or more adjacent levels of that domain. […] Domain hacks offer the ability to produce short domain names. This makes them potentially valuable as redirectors, pastebins, base domains from which to delegate subdomains and URL shortening services.”
