Ever been to http://www.recommendit.com ?
Same concept. If people like the articles on evolt.org, they may want to
tell other people about it. I often do this. When I see a site with lots of
information about [xyz], I mail interested friends to tell them about it.
We just make it easier for users to do this with a link that says
"Recommend evolt.org to a friend" (or something like that). That way, they
don't have to bother firing up their email client to type out a mail, and
if they had never thought of it, the link will plant the idea in their head.
Example? Visit www.ciol.com (while I used to manage this site, the new crap
design isn't mine).
See that link on the second nav bar called "Recommend this site"? Click it.
You get the idea :)
Cheers,
Madhu
