Viral Image 

An image posted on a social networking site that gets shared and reposted by many people.

Viral images are many times paired with a falsely attributed quote, or with a story that falls into urban legend status and is completely untrue; or at the very least, retold with a total lack of supporting facts or legitimate references.

Despite this lack of proof and facts, people repost the image over and over and many take it at face value and believe it to be the honest truth, never bothering to do a 30 second internet search that would reveal its message to be completely untrue.
Viral images are often used as propaganda with a clear bias towards one side of a cause or viewpoint (mostly political in nature).

Still, some are just a funny picture with a silly caption.

"Did you see that Viral Image of the puppy that got tattooed by that guy?" (In reality, a man who is a tattoo artist drew on his puppy's belly with a marker)

viral advertising 

(Also known as viral marketing). Releasing a video or other creation in hopes that it will be widely forwarded and be beneficial for a product or service referenced in the creation. If the creation seems amateurish even though it was created by professionals paid by the organization that benefits from being referenced, the effort is known as "subviral".
A cartoon showing three bathroom stalls with balloons of the expressions "Butt", "Wipe", and "Errr" should be suspected of being viral marketing for Anhaeuser Busch.

Viral Vinny 

Viral Vinny is that guy in the office who hears something and within minutes it is Global via social media. He is rarely without his cell phone and has large callouses on his fingers from constant texting on his "Crackberry" (BlackBerry)
Don't be a Viral Vinny and send that email. Do not tell Suri you Viral Vinny. No more texting Vinny.

viral derivative 

something that is not necessarily popular originally yet rapidly gains popularity due to the fact of being referenced to something else that is already popular
A Star Wars version of Gangam Style being a viral derivative received an enormous 2M+ views within a week, immediately after the original Gangam Style video hit the world record of YouTube views and likes.
