One of the few javascripts that can be done in place of CGI. When you place the form above on your page, visitors can recommend your site to a friend with a push of a button. It is a lot faster and the e-mail looks almost exactly like those of the top-notch CGI recommendation services. Recommend It is also highly customizable (help given in the color coding below the source). The only minus is that you can't use Recommend It if you're behind a firewall, but very few non-collegiate viewers are under this description.
