See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

In scientific research on what makes articles go viral, amusing stories were shared more frequently than less amusing ones.
Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:
This is a fascinating article from the New Yorker that was posted on Google+. It’s interesting that it’s not SEO keywords as dictated by an artificial logorithm that does it, but mostly through emotional means. Definitely an article worth reading, especially for all content writers, whether they write for blogs or other content.
