Implement invitation feature

Rails
1

Hi all,

I want to implement invitation feature, just like Gmail in the early
days:

  • Each user is grant a specific number of invitation
  • A user can send invitations to a number of friends by entering their
    email addresses
  • Each of those people receive email with (unique url) sign-up link.

I would like to know is there plugin elsewhere already doing so, or a
link to a typical implementation would be helpful.

Thanks,

  • Chuong
