Viral website

Nasza-klasa.pl seems to be the number one social networking site in Poland (seems that grono was not enough). I finally gave in and registered and now happily observe all the classmates flocking in. Apart from this Gallardo guy, of whom I’ve read on http://www.wiadomosci24.pl/artykul/s_wirus_w_naszej_klasie_55073.html

“Przed chwilą mój sympatyczny kolega, który namiętnie buszuje w “Naszej Klasie” przesłał mi następującą informację: jeżeli ktoś o niku genesis gallardo poprosi cię o dodanie do kontaktów nie dodawaj, bo to wirus i jeżeli ktoś z twoich kontaktów go doda, to ty też go złapiesz.Wyślij tą informację do wszystkich swoich znajomych z portalu.”

A user with the name in bold is said to be a virus, funny as it is, naszaklasa is not web2.0 enough for a computer virus, but with the number of warnings beings sent by people it truly becomes viral*.

update: this guy explains the whole thing better than I care to do.

*viral – extremely popular, catching on & trendy
