Abstract
The present invention enables methods and systems that identify viral videos. A viral video is a video which received a percentage of its views from one person sharing the video with another person. That is, a viral video received most of its views from person to person sharing. A video hosting server determines whether a video is a viral video based at least in part on views the video received through person to person sharing and the total number of views the video has received.
