Coca Cola's ad, capturing moments of kindness, affection and heroisism, was shared 240,000 times this week.

The ad generated 344 blog posts, more than 4,000 comments and has been viewed more than 4.8 million times.

The Apple video, which was tenth in last week's chart, secured only 3,959 shares just one week after Apple's World Wide Developer Conference in San Franciso last week.

The reception was warmer for Microsoft's Surface tablet, which has been shared 216,805 times this week and has been mentioned in 533 blog posts since launching on Monday (18 June).

The ad, in second position, was created in-house and has been viewed more than 9 times a second since it was published.

As the US presidential race draws closer, Republican hopeful, Mitt Romney, has once again entered the viral chart with a political ad attacking Obama's record on the economy.

Samsung, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed III and Pine-sol have remained in the chart this week, while a new entry from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) debuts in tenth position.
