You might want to check out this resource:

http://sharethis.com/

It will allow you to have the "send to a friend" like usability and also allow people to bookmark or submit your link using all the different bookmark saving and ranking web sites out there.

Thanks Mitch.  Does anyone have any experience with Share This or any of the other Tell A Friend tools or scripts?

I've been checking out Share This. So far looks good though still in the introductory stages of development and proliferation.  Its advantage over the traditional Tell A Friend tools is that in addition to email it has easy integration with blogs and social networking sites. Here's some more information from the Share This people.

The ShareThis button allows you to only have 1 button on your webpage, that allows your users to share your content to manyplaces including bookmark sites, recommendation sites, facebook, myspace,email, AIM and even cell phone. Another cool thing about ShareThis, is that we give you (the publisher) free tracking reports. These reports will allowyou track what your users are sharing, how often, and where they are sharingto. You can see our button in action on our company blog herehttp://blog.sharethis.com/You can also find our button at:http://crowdfavorite.com/http://www.weddingvendorguide.com/http://www.alpinethosemyriads.com/...Just to name a few. Our button will also be appearing on ABC.com in thecoming weeks, so you can look there as well. If you have any other questions or feedback, please feel free to contact us again. Until then, keep onsharing!

The simplest tell-a-friend is a mailto: hyperlink that includes the subject line and body text. This has the advantage that the email comes from the known sender and the sender fills in the recipient's email address. Because the email comes from the known friend it doesn't look like spam to the recipient.

Code:
<a href="mailto:?subject=A Web Site You Might Like
&body=(Insert your message here) Try this neat site: http://yoursite.com.">
Click here to tell a friend</a>

You can customize the subject line and body text as desired.

All the best, Rick E

FrontPage has been discontinued.
