Has Viral Gone Viral? Bilton 2010
- This idea of a viral influx of people is fascinating. Did Twitter and AOL have to update their supporting infrastructure in reaction?
- In one of my Comp Sci classes a professor was explaining to us how Amazon has a warehouse of servers they make use of in times of great demand as they previously encountered a Christmas time bombardment of use that essentially crashed their system. This must be the result of a virally spread interest in order in advance and online.
- Could this newly developed issue of the over abundance of second hand relaying of information that has zero to no validity be blamed on the viral nature of the internet?
- In what other aspects of our life, if there are any, does this exponential growth in popularity occur?
