viral marketing & the associated sh1t that went down in video over it recently.

Essentially nVidia/AEG bribing people to talk up nV cards (although i'm sure others do it too)...

Or hiring people to become active members of forums, get people's trust, and than recommend a particular brand or product. Or post postive reviews on Amazon etc. Bunch of sleaziness if you ask me, I don't think it's a big problem yet.
