Viralness
"Viral content doesn’t spread just from primary sources like YouTube or Flickr. Blogs, Web sites and video aggregators serve as cultural curators, daily collecting the items that will interest their audiences the most." 

-Damian Kulash Jr., lead singer and guitarist of the band OK Go.
Viralness depends on a lot more than good content
Good Network
The best content will languish without a good network
Ecosystem of interaction and sharing
Active Participation > Passive Consumption
Not everyone participates
Participation
Participants
Social Content
Social Objects
All social interactions center around an object
Sharing and interaction can only occur around an object that both parties are engaged in.
Content is NOT a Panacea
Must be engaging
Must be remarkable
Strong network
A note on conversations...
Between customers and brand
Between customers and each other about brand
