So you've stumbled upon Fanpop because آپ were Googling یا clicked on a link somewhere. The اگلے thing آپ know آپ start joining a few spots that you're a پرستار of...then مزید spots...and even مزید spots. For spots آپ can't find, آپ might even start creating new spots. Then آپ start adding videos, تصاویر and لنکس to spots. آپ discover Picks and can't stop answering سوالات in all your spots (and even some spots that you're not even a پرستار of!). آپ start making picks and even writing soapbox articles. All of the sudden people are adding آپ as a پرستار and you're earning تمغے and getting سہارا and تبصرے on all the great stuff you've added. Before آپ know it you're making دوستوں and messaging with شائقین from all over the world. You've been Fanpopped.

What I just described are the clear symptoms of Fanpopitis. Visitors become users who eventually become addicts! We've come to know so many great Fanpoppers since we launched the site back in August of 2006 and it's been growing ever since. We love it when we see a new face become really active in the community because it means that someone has found a ہوم at Fanpop. That's why we wanted to make it easier for Fanpoppers to tell their دوستوں and family about the site!

link has been toiling away on our Invite دوستوں feature for a while and he should be proud of himself. Now آپ can see which of your دوستوں are already on Fanpop سے طرف کی checking your e-mail address book on a bunch of webmail services like GMail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, and MSN Hotmail among many others. And if they're not on Fanpop, آپ can invite them and get credit in your Invite a Friend trophy. We just want to make sure people get recognized for successfully bringing a new member to the Fanpop family.

We know that not everyone uses webmail anymore and a lot of people communicate with their دوستوں through social networks. Now آپ can easily invite یا tell your دوستوں about Fanpop through your پسندیدہ social networks like MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, Orkut, and Hi5! آپ can message specific دوستوں (or all your friends!), post a bulletin, یا just throw up a shoutout about Fanpop. The best part is that آپ never have to leave the site to do it! آپ can do all of this right in the comfort and safety of your own Fanpop profile. :)

To get to the address book and social network invite feature, just click on the "Invite Friends" link in the navigation bar up سب, سب سے اوپر یا click on the link in the yellow module on your پروفائل page.

We're really excited to be able to offer this feature to everyone so that they can spread the word and tell their loved ones about the site so that they too can be...well...Fanpopped!
