"How can I make my app viral" seems like asking yourself "How can I make someone love me".

You don't want to make users want to spread your app, you want them to want to spread your app.

The "Invite people" forms are a really bad way of doing things IMHO. It's like asking your wife/hubby to fill in a form detailing how much she loves you.

I'd also say a good strategy is to give users something for free, that they think should cost money - they'll be sure to tell their friends off their own back.

Still good ideas in the original article though.
