Tell a Friend?

Hi All,
There are a couple of plugins I am surprised no one has made for CMSB yet. One of them is the popular "Tell a Friend" script - which allows people to email a page link to a friend.
I'm sure this would be quite straight-forward, especially now that we have far better email set-ups in CMSB.
Has anyone attempted such a script/plugin?

Hi Perch
Thanks for posting!
We don't have a specific plugin for Tell A Friend but I agree with you that it should be pretty straight forward. My idea is that we have a simple textfield on the article page somewhere with a submit button that says "Tell A Friend". A site visitor fills that field out and hits the button. This will trigger off an email to the address entered and we hook it into an email template on the back end so you can customize what is sent. We could also add in a "comment" just so the visitor has the option of adding their own message like "Hey Bill, check out this great post I just read".
Does something like that sound like it would work? If so, shoot me an email through consulting@interactivetools.com and we can discuss the particulars in more detail :).
Thanks!
