2. Before the development and introduction of Web 2.0 technology, online publishing was largely limited to well-funded institutions and online business enterprises.

3. Publishing online was not only expensive. It was also very technical, requiring programming skills.

4. Ordinary internet users and customers cannot conveniently interact with websites and with other online people.

5. The only convenient way of interaction was through email. There were no free website or free blog platforms. There were no social networking sites.

6. The tell-a-friend form was only a concept. However, with the introduction of Web 2.0 everything changed.

7. PHP Referral software applications such as the Viral Inviter started to dominate the web as powerful marketing tools.

8. The tell-a-friend form was first successfully used by social networking sites such as Facebook.com, Twitter.com, and Multiply.com.

9. The form provided easy means to send invitations and updates among members of an online social network.

10. Although it is basically displayed by HTML tags, the form is useless without the tell-a-friend script. The script is the one that process the data entered in the text boxes of the form.

11. The earliest version of this form was comprised of several text boxes and submit button. Email contact referrals were voluntarily entered in the text boxes.

12. On the other hand, modern versions of referral scripts, such as Viral Inviter, do not only make it mandatory to enter email referrals but also automate the extraction or importation of referrals.

13. Unlike many simple versions of referral scripts, Viral Inviter does not merely display tell-a-friend form in the website.

14. The software also allows displaying of the form in the PHP-generated web pages that are sent via emails.

15. This provides the advantage of directly registering from the email inbox itself. Typically, this software generates HTML-based documents that are sent as invitations.

16. These documents already contain information about the website being promoted.

17. With some tinkering, interactive media and forms can be added in the message. The recipient will be able to view a functional snapshot of the website that is being promoted.
