FORMSPRINGhttp://www.formspring.me/
I’ve been noticing a lot of dancers using Formspring these days. I personally do not use it, or does anyone on Strife.tv, but a lot of dancers in my area love to mention their Formspring accounts to their friends, especially when they are bored and have nothing to do but answer the random questions sent to them.

Q: How does Formspring work?
A: You ask a question to a friend, or someone you want to know more about, and they answer. Except, the questioner’s identity is kept anonymous.



Because your identity is kept a secret, you can ask virtually any embarrassing question and the other user won’t know it is you. The most common questions range from secret admirers, to pranksters, to serious questions, to dance advice, to just…plain weird. The creation of Formspring almost essentially replaces those surveys we’ve always done via email in the past. Does anyone remember those? The ones where we have to finish, then send it out to all of our friends within 10 days, or something bad will happen.



Anyways, my favorite kind of Formspring questions have always been the, “Would you rather ______ or _______ ?” It is always a mystery where people find two totally irrelavant things, and try to force you to pick one. For example, “Would you rather eat sand for three meals, or have a llama follow you and spit at you every four hours a day?



A COUPLE OF FORMSPRING ACCOUNTS TO VISIT:
http://www.formspring.me/bgirlmaresco – B-girl Maresco’s site. Someone ask her questions, please. She keeps mentioning how bored she is, and keeps posting her account to me and others, just in case they have forgotten about it within the past hour.

http://www.formspring.me/domkeyDomkey’s a funny guy. I love Domkey. My favorite question on his site has to be, “Do you have a fetish for Asian girls? It seems that way. LOL” Write to Domkey if you prefer dudes over b-girls. (just kidding Dom)

http://www.formspring.me/atomicgoofball – B-boy Atomic Goofball, anyone? If you know Goof, it almost seems like Formspring was invented just so people can ask him quesitons.
