There is also this <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.prwatch.org/taxonomy/term/110/9?from=10">list of examples from the Center for Media and Democracy</a> (PR Watch), another project from that same watchdog group. Those will give you a good idea of what astroturfing can be used for and most of the examples relate to politics. Hey Shelby,

There is also this list of examples from the Center for Media and Democracy (PR Watch), another project from that same watchdog group.

What is another form of astroturfing? Robert, I read the links and I’m still not quite sure what astroturfing is.
