viral

Short for 'viral marketing'. An online marketing strategy that encourages people to pass on a marketing message. Amusing and low-budget, a good Internet viral campaign (e.g. "Jerry Tate: Office Linebacker") will get surfers forwarding the ad to all of their friends to others, giving the company great word of mouth.

viralization

Viralization โ€“ (1) support gained via social media of any shared word/image & deed carried out with the express intention of its going viral, in which the gaining of fame/notoriety overrides or supersedes the deed or action itself as founding impetus. (2) fame/notoriety/major media acknowledgement based on the sole criteria of accumulated high numbers of social media facilitated quick clicks as determined by the lowest human attention quotient, tech addicted masses with the most idle time on their hands

Viralization is guided and upheld by those masses with the most time to share and hence the opposite fame based on merit.

Virality

The degree to which a piece of internet content has been or might be shared in a short amount of time. First coined by CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen.

Research into influence and virality suggest that finding swayable audiences is far more important when it comes to spreading information than the apparent influence quotient of the person passing it on.
