Going viral is certainly speed of adoption. By definition. It's not an absolute number, it's a growth pattern over time.
Two days is not enough to decide that something went viral.
6,000 registered users is a very low number, even if it happens within a few hours: a simple exposure on the front page of HN or Reddit, or even better, being featured on Google Play or the iTunes store, will result in user sign ups in the order of the 100k's.
