How does Formspring work?
Formspring is as simple as starting a conversation – you ask a question of a friend or someone you want to know more about, and they answer. And vice versa. It’s a fun and easy way to connect with people you know or people you want to know more about, and for your friends to learn more about you.
Getting started on Formspring is really simple. First, you set up an account. During the set up process, you can find friends already on Formspring through your favorite social networks. After that, you can begin asking questions, either anonymously or openly. You’ll get a notice when you get a new question from a contact, and you can choose whether or not to answer it. Lastly, you can easily link up your Formspring account with other websites, so more of your friends and contacts can learn about you, and ask you more questions.
Why did you create Formspring?
In many ways, our users helped us create Formspring. Just six months ago, Formspring grew out of another company called Formstack, which creates online forms used by companies and organizations that want to get to know their users and customers better. Back in the Summer of 2009, we noticed that bloggers were beginning to use Formstack’s forms to let their readers ask them questions. Pretty soon, tens of thousands of people were using our forms to share information, insights and learn about one another. We took note and realized that people were desperate for a new way to connect and learn about each other. With this in mind, we launched Formspring.me in November 2009. Today, there are over 12 million accounts on Formspring asking millions of questions every day.
