DefinitionsFrom Wikipedia: In American politics and advertising, the term astroturfing describes formal public relations projects which deliberately seek to engineer the impression of spontaneous, grassroots behavior. The goal is the appearance of independent public reaction to a politician, political group, product, service, event, or similar entities by centrally orchestrating the behavior of many diverse and geographically distributed individuals. From answers.com: Astroturfing describes the posting of supposedly independent messages on Internet boards by interested companies and individuals In American politics, the term is used to describe formal public relations projects which deliberately give the impression that they are spontaneous and populist reactions. The term comes from AstroTurf -- the fake grass used in many indoor American football stadiums. The contrast between truly spontaneous or "grassroots" efforts and an orchestrated public relations campaign, is much like the distinction between real grass and AstroTurf. From the Jargon File: (The Jargon File is a compendium of hacker slang)astroturfing: n.

Don't Misrepresent Who You Are
Some blogs, like Slashdot, offer readers the opportunity to sound off of the topics that the site's masters have sifted from the hundreds of topic submissions they receive daily and have anointed as topics for discussion. If you must post to the discussion, do not masquerade as a member of the user community while under the retainer of a company with a vested interest in the outcome of the conversation. (Faking a grassroots movement is known as "astroturfing.") Many bloggers are quite technically savvy or have access to people who are. Chances are, your access to the discussion -- and your Internet location -- has been recorded somewhere. The backlash would be severe, like when Ziff-Davis caught Microsoft stuffing the virtual ballot box in an online poll.
For interest groups or political campaigners, one possible pitfall of using blogs is the practice known as 'astroturfing'. The term, described in the Edelman/Intelliseek guide, amounts to fake grassroots-type people creating weblogs where an agenda-driven organisation, agency, think tank, government agency, etc. pays them to say good things about it without revealing that they're getting paid.

From the Jargon File: (The Jargon File is a compendium of hacker slang)
astroturfing: n.
1. The use of paid shills to create the impression of a popular movement, through means like letters to newspapers from soi-disant ‘concerned citizens’, paid opinion pieces, and the formation of grass-roots lobbying groups that are actually funded by a PR group (AstroTurf? is fake grass; hence the term). See also sock puppet, tentacle.
2. What an individual posting to a public forum under an assumed name is said to be doing.

Some blogs, like Slashdot, offer readers the opportunity to sound off of the topics that the site's masters have sifted from the hundreds of topic submissions they receive daily and have anointed as topics for discussion. If you must post to the discussion, do not masquerade as a member of the user community while under the retainer of a company with a vested interest in the outcome of the conversation. (Faking a grassroots movement is known as "astroturfing.") Many bloggers are quite technically savvy or have access to people who are. Chances are, your access to the discussion -- and your Internet location -- has been recorded somewhere. The backlash would be severe, like when Ziff-Davis caught Microsoft stuffing the virtual ballot box in an online poll.

For interest groups or political campaigners, one possible pitfall of using blogs is the practice known as 'astroturfing'. The term, described in the Edelman/Intelliseek guide, amounts to fake grassroots-type people creating weblogs where an agenda-driven organisation, agency, think tank, government agency, etc. pays them to say good things about it without revealing that they're getting paid.

from answers.com: Astroturfing describes the posting of supposedly independent messages on Internet boards by interested companies and individuals In American politics, the term is used to describe formal public relations projects which deliberately give the impression that they are spontaneous and populist reactions. The term comes from AstroTurf? -- the fake grass used in many indoor American football stadiums. The contrast between truly spontaneous or "grassroots" efforts and an orchestrated public relations campaign, is much like the distinction between real grass and AstroTurf?.
From the Jargon File: (The Jargon File is a compendium of hacker slang)
astroturfing: n.
1. The use of paid shills to create the impression of a popular movement, through means like letters to newspapers from soi-disant ‘concerned citizens’, paid opinion pieces, and the formation of grass-roots lobbying groups that are actually funded by a PR group (AstroTurf? is fake grass; hence the term). See also sock puppet, tentacle.
2. What an individual posting to a public forum under an assumed name is said to be doing.

We oppose the practice of astroturfing, defined above, in any form. The practice should never be a part of a public relations campaign as it is anti-democratic, unethical, immoral and often illegal.
We will attempt to raise awareness of this practice, expose it for what it is, and encourage our fellow communicators to join us in opposition.
We call for all professional communication bodies to strongly, publicly and actively oppose astroturfing; alongside PR agencies, individual practitioners and bloggers.

From Wikipedia: In American politics and advertising, the term astroturfing describes formal public relations projects which deliberately seek to engineer the impression of spontaneous, grassroots behavior. The goal is the appearance of independent public reaction to a politician, political group, product, service, event, or similar entities by centrally orchestrating the behavior of many diverse and geographically distributed individuals.
