Viral Video

　Actually, I do not know what VIRAL VIDEO is at all. So first, I tried to guess the meaning of this word. According to my dictionary, “viral” means to have something to don with a VIRUS. I become confused more because I could not imagine how videos relate to a virus. Does a video have certain virus that is bad for computers like an e-mail with computer virus? Finally, I gave up thinking about VIRAL VIDEO for myself.
　Then I tried to look into this term on the Internet. As a result, a VIRAL VIDEO seems to become known to people through the Internet by e-mail, blogs, or other media. Now I could realize why this word “viral” is used for videos; those video would spread like actual virus, so they are called VIRAL VIDEOs. Because people can watch video clip easily, a lot of videos are shared through the Internet. In fact, there are many websites that enable people to share those videos. For example, you can watch various viral videos if you go there; http://www.ifilm.com/channel/viralvideo If you are confused because of too may videos, and you want to watch popular one, you can find by going here; http://viralvideochart.com/
　In addition, some firm started to take advantage of viral videos. Unilever, which is a major company, created a viral video for advertisement and uploaded it onto the You Tube. It seems to have been televised so many times successfully. The means of advertising may be changed dramatically in the future.
　Anyway, VIRAL VIDEO is the term that is used for well-known video clips shared on the Internet.
