Definition:
Astroturfing (snaha o vyvolanie dojmu, že ide o spontánne správanie) sa využíva všade tam, kde je šanca ovplyvňovať vďaka emóciám. Či sa organizácia snaží stať najväčším predajcom mp3 prehrávačov, alebo získať politickú podporu, bude tu vždy snaha o nachádzanie novej formy komunikácie pre dosiahnutie týchto cieľov.
