The ability for a concept to be shared online in a viral way. Has to meet several requirements such as: has to be short, has to communicate an entire idea, has to resonate with target audience.
The alternate name of the Occupy Wallstreet Movement, "The 99%" is short and viralable beating out other less viralable concepts such as "the other 98%" and "unemployed angry disfranchised middle class worker" althought both of them are more technical descriptive and somewhat more accurate.

Short for 'viral marketing'. An online marketing strategy that encourages people to pass on a marketing message. Amusing and low-budget, a good Internet viral campaign (e.g. "Jerry Tate: Office Linebacker") will get surfers forwarding the ad to all of their friends to others, giving the company great word of mouth.

Viralization – (1) support gained via social media of any shared word/image & deed carried out with the express intention of its going viral, in which the gaining of fame/notoriety overrides or supersedes the deed or action itself as founding impetus. (2) fame/notoriety/major media acknowledgement based on the sole criteria of accumulated high numbers of social media facilitated quick clicks as determined by the lowest human attention quotient, tech addicted masses with the most idle time on their hands
Viralization is guided and upheld by those masses with the most time to share and hence the opposite fame based on merit.
