<p>I find it really stupid how there’s a growing amount of online communication networks around the globe today. Having a formspring not only sounds stupid, but it makes things redundant and worst at the same time. We already have twitter, facebook, AIM, and electronic phone text messaging. Formspring is not necessary because there are already enough things to talk to your friends through. </p>
<p>Why do I think formspring should not exist? Because it also known for resentment of everyone’s fortune when it comes down to cyber bullying or spamming in these type of situations. When you write on it, people can talk crap about you afterwards. It creates further drama. But nonetheless, I just think formspring is pretty useless. It’s only a site used for us to freely ask our friends questions and write some random stuff. The reason of that its possibility to have fights and harrasements going on is why it should be banned.</p>
<p>Anyone here agrees? I’ve been tortured couple of times already by one of my friends and I hate him.</p>
<p>Because people are not content with the general anonyminity that the Internet provides–and want to anonymize their anonymous persona even more. This helps with cyber bullying because bullying in-person is so last decade. </p>
<p>Likewise, the person who set up the formspring is under the fairly narcissitic belief that there are people who really, really, really want to ask them questions about their undeniable awesome existence–said moderately narcissitic person will then become shocked, hurt, and then angry (in that order) when pixels callinG themselves xXSexiAssGlitterzzzzx writes in a question asking why our narcissitic buddy why s/he looks uncomfortably constipated in his/her Facebook photos. </p>
<p>Then our buddy thinks “omgzz, one of my buddy buddies hates mah guts. Who it be?”
and then goes on a manhunt for xXSexiassglitterzzzzxx and alienates everyone in the process. </p>
<p>Buddy then gives up, realizes s/he has royally p.ssed off the entire free world (Because Buddy has added the entire free world to his friends on Facebook.)
and gets so sad that s/he commits suicide but not before trekking to the nearest zoo and slaughtering a panda. </p>
<p>And this is why nobody should ever use formspring. It will kill you in the end.</p>
<p>i don’t even have a formspring account because of how stupid it is. If people want to ask something, they have so many other ways of doing so. Whatever happened to asking someone a question IN PERSON? People ask things on formspring because they’re too scared/nervous/shy to ask it in person or even through text/fb/any other way. I’ve read some of the questions that friends have on their formsprings, and it just causes unecessary drama. The funny part is that people keep answering those fools. Maybe they like the attention? Idk. Either way, it’s just useless.</p>
<p>Ah if it bothers you don’t be apart of it. Sure, it connects people, but stuff you put online stays there much longer than you want. No one forces someone to have a facebook or twitter. It makes people feel like they have a lot of friends because people comment on their pictures or whatnot and feel happy because people “follow” them. It’s kind of silly that we spend so much time networking instead of actually interacting with people. I think social networking is overrated and in many cases a waste of time. When myspace was big people would send mass messages with people to friend someone, and it was all about having a bunch of friends you really aren’t friends with. It was silly but a way for people to feel more popular than they were in real life. It’s kind of a waste of time. Cell phones connect people enough.</p>
