The example I shared on our group website has a lot of correlation to what henry Jenkins discussed in his article about spreadable content.  It was the best example to choose because it shows why people like to repost things based on things like what their surroundings are, values, and people around them.  There is only one thing that can make some of the stuff that is reposted go viral and that is based on the circulation and also the relationship of the communities and the materials that circulates.  These videos became really popular based off all the repost from people around the world.
