Invite Sender for Friendster / MySpace / Hi5 / Orkut / Xing / BlackPlanet (PHP/.NET/Java)
The Benefits
- Go BEYOND emails! Boost genuine traffic to your site by going beyond email referrals and utilizing the attention given to social network messages.
- Leverage on your website visitor's large social network, which typically number from tens to hundreds.
- Easy to use. Displays name and thumbnail image of contact.

How it works...
Your visitors simply provide their login email address and password and our script fetches a list of contacts into an array/list. Your application can then choose to send native MySpace/Friendster/Hi5/Orkut messages to these contacts. As only actual social network messages are sent, not emails, you get more attention of the contacts themselves! (Note: Orkut messages are normally sent by Orkut as Gmail messages)
