STI Smuggler

A friend of mine once got a very disturbing call. A foreign fling called her from his hometown of Amsterdam to let her know he'd been to the doctor and, um, he had something.
Struggling through the slight language barrier, she finally realised what he was on about. He had something, downstairs. And seemingly, since he hadn't been with anyone else in months, my friend had given it to him.
A trip to the doctor confirmed. My friend was quickly dubbed "the international STI smuggler". While, praise God, it was one of the STIs that can quickly be cleared up with antibiotics, there was the tricky issue of notifying all her former partners. Especially when "partners" is a serious overstatement of relations; some were simply known as "silver fox" and "that under-aged, mildly-homo guy".
Thankfully, there's a new site that makes the experience easier. The website will anonymously send an e-card to all of your, um, partners to let them know they should get tested.
Now, if only Facebook would launch an application.
