FWDitOn (pronounced "forward it on") is a recently launched web 2.0 site which focuses on the forwarded emails which circulate the internet.. The idea is to allow people to see the most popular forwarded jokes and other emails. An email can be added to FWDitOn by simply forwarding it to the sites mailbox - and you do not need to be a registered user to do so.

The site works by asking you to forward your funny or interesting emails to the submission email address. The site will then automatically process the email and post it on the website.
Users can then read, rate and share each email. The presence of a “spy” page enables users to see what activity is happening on the site in real-time.The site was recently featured on the hugely popular TechCrunch blog written by the well-respected Michael Arrington. The site has now exploded onto the web 2.0 scene with a massive influx of members and email submissions.
