Where to find a good free one?

HEllo,

I plan to place a foto gallery on my site and use a Tel A Friend Script to create some viral marketing. Any idea where I can find a good one?

Thanks!

With friends like you, who needs enemies? Any friend that sold me a virus wouldn't be a friend for long. :-)

Seriously though, I take it you mean virtual marketing. Client side scripting for eMail relies on the users Mail Browser. This is kludgy at best and totally unreliable. Even specifying some simple plain text for the content is not always successful.

You would be better off using server side scripting for this. To advise further you would need to specify what server side scripting is available to you (php, perl etc..)

I believe it is viral marketing [en.wikipedia.org]
.. but, yes, server-side is the way to go (you get to harvest all those email addresses too!).

Viral Marketing! indeed. You learn something new every day :-)
