I'm just a vector. Fast Company this month talks about getting your idea out and having it catch on like a 'virus'. The article itself seeks to do this as well (self referential - perhaps using it's own concepts).

Seems like this might be of some interest here.

(later update: http://www.fastcompany.com/ideavirus/ main site) I would say the rise of napster, ebay, and things like that are good examples of idea viruses.

Here's a quote:

An idea that just sits there is worthless. But an idea that moves, grows, and infects everyone it touches ... that's an ideavirus.
