Formstack is an online form builder and Internet hosting service, which enables users to create online forms such as surveys, contact forms, or event registrations.
formspring.me
On November 25, 2009, Formspring launched formspring.me, a social media site where users can ask each other anonymous questions. Formspring.me, which links to Facebook and Twitter, became a craze in early 2010.[1][2][3] In response to its sudden popularity, blogging website Tumblr launched a nearly-identical service called "Ask Me".[4]
Formspring.me has garnered some controversy, especially among teenagers, for opening the door for harassment, due to the anonymity of the entries.[5] A fight between several students at a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania High School, which started after an argument over formspring.me, received some media attention in February 2010.[6]
On March 12, 2010, a hoax news article saying that the creators planned to reveal personal information about their users spread on Twitter and other social networking sites.[7]
On March 22, 2010, Alexis Pilkington, a 17-year-old West Islip, NY High School graduate committed suicide,[8]purportedly after dozens of insulting comments about her had been posted on formspring.me in the days leading up to her decision. Soon after, a local grassroots boycott of the formspring.me site began.[9]
