For years, word of mouth marketing has been around, and skittish brand marketers have been toying with buzz-word-worthy pieces of it. But play time is over, and more and more brand marketers are fully embracing WOM and making it an integral element of their integrated marketing campaigns.

Blogs are easy to create, and there are literally millions of them burning out there in the blogosphere. So how do you make sure that people notice yours? Here's a look at some solutions -- and some of the pitfalls of existing strategies.

WOM can work wonders, but it's not a magic pill. It still needs technique and methodology -- as well as an exacting understanding of its ethics -- to be done right. Here are some reality checks for marketers before getting started with WOM.

The Boston Bruins have tapped local comedian Lenny Clarke to star as the figurehead of their viral efforts to get Bostonians to vote Bruins Players into the 2008 NHL All-Star Game. The "Vote Bruins" campaign features a slew of WOM-based efforts, including MySpace destinations, viral videos, and email tell-a-friend pushes.
