Idea #29100: Invite functionality for Ubuntu OS & U1

Written by Lionthinker the 11 Jan 12 at 16:22. Category: Marketing. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
I loaded Ubuntu onto my computer and was ecstatic.
Then I got to know Ubuntu One and was utterl thrilled.

I think Ubuntu is one of the best things since sliced bread - BUT I have to personally tell everyone I know about Ubuntu.

Solution: There should be an invite function with easy user and product info so users can spread the news virally via a personal invite.
This lends authenticity as each inviter endorses Ubuntu and spreads the net far wider.

We have to get more people using Ubuntu!

Sounds like a good job for the media team or an enthusiastic loco.

Caution, though... it could backfire if used too enthusiastically.

After all these invites in the social networks people is sick of invitations by email. Better would be a way to testify that you use ubuntu, like a stiker in the car or a badge for facebook. Btw still nothing new
