As far as I can see Bview is positioning itself as a customer reputation management tool for businesses.

Widgets,
It is. What do you think is the most interesting part of it?

If you were giving one piece of advice on getting good WOM, what would it be?

I always had more work than I could handle, so I love word of mouth.

But i can see that it could really be so and that there is a thin line dividing the right from the wrong. I never thought how word of mouth publicity (or even viral marketing) could be illegal.

They ended up getting caught and got into big trouble since they flat-out lied.

Bloggers bite back with a vengeance when they've been duped. Also, there's the Monica Lewinsky/Matt Drudge effect. Someone will find out and they will tell their friends. Even if it's not deliberate, it can be a PR nightmare if you're seen as evil or bumbling.
