I must say I wondered how it was possible.
But when I read up on it, I realized that forwardOn.com really did have a point. When you get all those funny emails from your friends and colleagues - you forward them, right? Ever wondered how many viruses you’ve spread? How much bandwith these attachments “steal” from you - and the friends you forward it to? How they affect your storage space?
Join forwardOn. Instead of forwarding the email directly to your contacts, send it to forwardOn after you’ve deleted all unwanted text like company names, email adresses an so on. They’ll scan it for viruses, post it on their site, and send you an instant reply with the link to your email. That way, you can forward the link to your friends and family, and spare their inboxes and computers. Good thinking, right?
Now - how about the “Go green” part? Well, there’s two ways to go green. By reducing the amount of bandwith and storage, you also reduce power consumption. You can’t do much on you own, but with millions of people doing it, it can make a big difference. Also, you collect points every time your email is viewed. You can redeem the points and donate to Go Green charities, or you can exchange them for gift cards for great free rewards for yourself.
In the process, you can have fun with the site. You get access to loads of amusing stuff that others have posted, and you can share it on facebook, myspace or even on your blog. You can invite your friends, which will earn you points also.
Sounds fun to me… and it makes sense too.
