[edit] Collections

I've added the section on collections, but in doing so I'm a tad concerned that it isn't far off advertising. I've deliberately avoided adding links, and only added two sites - chosen because of the presence of independent coverage in reliable sources. The section is there as it seems like an interesting and moderately significant aspect of viral emails, but if others don't agree I will very happily defer to any consensus. - Bilby (talk) 17:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
