Fascinating study of what kinds of content goes viral. Here are the topline suggestions:
* Longer is more likely to be shared.
* Longer is less likely to be commented on.
* Inspire anger, awe or anxiety.
* Be useful, surprising or interesting.
* Be a famous woman.
Funny since I've had 5 or 56 posts go mega viral and they are shorter (in the 500 word range) and not written by a woman. Every mega-viral post I've ever created did other things on this list including surf a hot topic, include humor and reference famous people or things (like Facebook).
Added my Agree / Disagree list to G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/102639884404823294558/posts/YuvxinkCy8S
