Virality: individuals create it, governments fear it, companies would die for it. So what is virality and how does it work? Why does one particular video get millions of views while hundreds of thousands of others get only a handful? In Going Viral, Nahon and Hemsley uncover the factors that make things go viral online. They analyze the characteristics of networks that shape virality, including the crucial role of gatekeepers who control the flow of information and connect networks to one another. They also explore the role of human attention, showing how phenomena like word of mouth, bandwagon effects, homophily and interest networks help to explain the patterns of individual behavior that make viral events. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the Joseph Kony video to the tweet that spread the news that Osama Bin Laden was dead, from the video of Homer Simpson voting in the US elections to the photo of a police officer pepper-spraying students at the University of California Davis, this path-breaking account of viral events will be essential reading for students, scholars, politicians, policymakers, executives, artists, musicians and anyone who wants to understand how our world today is being shaped by the flow of information online."--Publisher information. 000716959 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000716959 650_0 $$aOnline social networks$$xSocial aspects. 000716959 650_0 $$aInformation technology$$xSocial aspects. 000716959 650_0 $$aInternet$$xSocial aspects. 000716959 650_0 $$aDigital media$$xSocial aspects. 000716959 7001_ $$aHemsley, Jeff,$$eauthor. 000716959 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNahon, Karine.$$tGoing viral.$$dCambridge, England : Polity Press, 2013$$z9780745671291$$z9780745671284$$w(OCoLC)849213692 000716959 8520_ $$bacq 000716959 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000716959 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1578387$$zOnline Access 000716959 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:716959$$pGLOBAL_SET 000716959 980__ $$aEBOOK 000716959 980__ $$aBIB 000716959 982__ $$aEbook 000716959 983__ $$aOnline
