On February 17, 2010, the Word of Mouth Marketing Association released a guide which may begin to set some industry standards for how to provide appropriate disclosures (in not too many characters). Examples include:

  • I am an employee [or representative] of company name.
  • I received product or sample from company name to review.
  • I was paid by company.
  • For microblogs such as Twitter, include the hashtags #spon, #paid, or #samp.

The social media world continues to evolve very quickly and surely corporate compliance with the new FTC endorsement guidelines will evolve as well.
