Go ahead, ask me a question...
There’s an interesting new social media site out there called formspring.me. The service provides a simple forum for asking anonymous questions of registered users.
Other popular social media sites – I’m looking at you, Twitter – are usually pretty public forums and often don’t inspire people to jump in with off-the-wall questions of people with whom they don’t already have a strong existing relationship. The anonymity eliminates the awkward feeling someone might have in asking too personal or irrelevant of a question.
Formspring.me lets the user pick and choose which questions are publicly displayed, so if there’s a question asked that he or she really doesn’t want to respond to (or if it’s wholly inappropriate), it won’t show up for everyone to see it go unanswered.
I like it, and after asking a few questions of my own, I decided to get in on the action.
So, here goes: ask me anything.
