Abstract
The conceptual and technological transformation of word of mouth (WOM) is one of the most effective and old factors in customers' purchasing decisions. Although digital WOM is expressed as e-WOM, it is similar to traditional WOM, but it differs in the perception of trust, as well as in speed and scope. It affects the fate of companies both positively and negatively.
