FTC To Investigate 'Viral Marketing' Practices 299
mcflaherty writes "The Federal Trade Commission has stated that it is going to investigate the use of 'Viral Marketing' by corporations. This is the type of advertising that seeks to start a word of mouth campaign for the product via consumers themselves. Previously, consumers themselves set the buzz.

Either way, it appears to be a profitable advertising model."
