Social Vibe's Joe Marchese got his panel on social media off on a psychological note, asking his panelists to say what comes to their mind when they hear the word “viral.”

Two of the five panelists said it made them sick to their stomachs. One implied it was lethargic.

“I think I get sick,” said 360i's David Berkowitz.

“Like David, when I hear the word viral I want to throw up,” concurred Crayon's Greg Verdino. “I think shut-the-f-up.”

Morpheus' Adam Broitman had another take: “When I hear the word viral the first thing that comes to mind is lazy.”
