Create a box where friends can ask questions anonymously. Post your responses to Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook or your blog.

I spend a lot of time on Tumblr and I see a lot of people I follow use this service called Formspring. It's a contact form creation site and people can just ask other people questions without naming themselves. Then what happens is anonymous messages are posted on the form then the owners of the form will repost the questions on Tumblr together with their answers. It actually gets tedious. So I think this spin-off is clever. It's called Formspring.me:


When you register for an account, you'll get a personalized URL (unlike the long ass address Formspring.com provides) and you can post the questions you received and your own answers on the page as well. It's like Twitter, but for Q&A and can only be updated when there are incoming questions. I guess Formspring the company felt that they needed to provide a service that leans towards social networking as their site has become popular on Tumblr. I think it's a really good move.

Is Formspring.me for me (no pun intended)? I think not. It's a fun site but it's not my cup of tea because I am quite nervous of what kind of messages I might get, plus I have many sites to attend to. But if you tend to get lots of attention, then why don't you give it a try? You can have fun answering the questions people post on your page.
