I've been seeing the popularity of the "Email to a friend", "Email
Article", "Email page" (and many other names) feature on the
internet. Personally, I never use this feature because I think that
the company behind the website will store my email and my friend's
email address, plus the email will contain advertising elements as
well, so instead, I personally email the URL to my friend. But of
course, I'm talking here on my own experience.
Does anybody have statistics that validate the inclusion of this
feature? Do people really use this feature? If so, do they use it a
lot?
I basically never use it from a given website, because (a) I don't
know what they are going to do with the address I send to, and (b) I
prefer to craft the message being sent with the link such that it
reflects me, not their template.
I do use the iPhone Safari version of the feature, though, to send
myself copies of website links for later reading on other systems.
