New Internet Trend Alert: Ask Me Anything!
First there was formspring.me that popped up out of nowhere onto my radar, now two seconds later there's a new integrated Tumblr feature that does the same thing, only better. I'd love to know the back story on this one, cause I bet somebody behind the scenes is PISSED.
The always easily offended Tumblr community is already up in arms about this new feature, threatening unfollows left and right. I guess it's become some people don't like the idea of other people being able to ask yet other people questions anonymously? Because nobody's ever been able to do that via message boards and blog comments for the past 10 years?
I kinda like it, and even though if I were Formspring I'd cut a bitch over this, as an already enthusiastic Tumblr user I prefer the built-in functionality over Formspring's external (and buggy as all hell in both Firefox and Chrome) interface. Bring on the questions, Internet. We can handle it. Until somebody starts crying.
