Ever heard of Formspring? It's just the latest in nonsensical social sites. I'm not even sure why someone created a site like this. The actually website is www.formspring.me. The concept behind it is so boring and so bizarre. Snoozefest 2010.
Here's how it works: You create an account, and surprise surprise it can be linked to your Facebook page. From there, anyone can ask you an anonymous question which you can choose to reply to. I'm pretty sure that this site is aimed at tweens and teens because the questions that are asked on this site are all pretty similar and pretty stupid. I did a little research and here are some of the most popular questions: Do you get high? Do you have sex? How many girls/boys have you hooked up with? Do you think you are hot? Here's my question: You're kidding me right?
Let's keep in mind that the identity of the people asking the questions is kept hidden. Great, let's protect the anonymity of the douches who are torturing others. Again though, this is one of those situations where you have to place some blame on those who choose to expose themselves to this form of social torture. I can't figure it out. Why sign up for a site and put yourself out there when in the end you're just going to be made to look like a fool? Make sense to you? I doubt it.
What a brilliant idea, NOT. As if there is not enough cyber-bullying already, Formspring has now created another platform for it. Kids are not stupid, let's just make that clear. However, they can be mean as all hell. They know who's cool, who's getting high, who's an easy target and who's a slut. They take this information and they can make anyones life a living hell. So my question for you creator for Formspring, is why create a site that contributes to the desecration of the lives of teens? Did this really seem like a good idea to you?
