With the invent of social media sites like Orkut, Facebook and Twitter between 2004 and 2006, the media landscape has dramatically changed. Although the first social networking sites were seen long back in 1997, but it was from 2004 that users began using such sites to connect with their friends and family online. Other than connecting with people, social media also became the best way to make a piece of information go viral in the shortest possible time. People started getting interested to get their news and information from viral sites like BuzzFeed, UpWorthy, ViralNova, Distractify, and many others.

They put up large images, bright colours, attractive layouts, and content like lists, quizzes and videos to attract and engage users. Today, they even focus on breaking news and in-depth reporting. However, not all of them do the same thing. Some sites focus on the latest news, while others cover the lighter fare. But, whatever they show, they use some key elements that can be easily shared like photo galleries, videos, quizzes, surveys, lists, memes, and social media threads.
