Parent article: The send-a-link feature

What about one of those social marketing deals? How about if I send someone an article, it comes
with a link that says "Click here to subscribe to lwn.net for as low as $5/month. We'll give you one
month free and we'll give ''Zooko O'Whielacronx'' one month free as a reward for signing you up.".
Or one week free, or a gold star on your lwn account page, or something. The point is to take
advantage of people's natural socialization to bring in new subscribers.
