Simple yet turned Complex ...

I have been on Facebook and yes I know that is a very common thing to say in today's time but what surprised me was the fact that how so much can be linked together, from linking Facebook to multiple emails, to Twitter, and now such a simple thing as asking a question can be turned into another sort of social networking program. This also allows you to find friends just like on any other social networking site by either linking, or searching for the names. For those of you who have not seen or heard of formspring.me like me, let me quickly explain it...what its is quite simply its a place where its just asking questions or making short comments where the other person can reply, you have the choice of either using your account screen name, full name, or being anonymous when the question is processed, the person whose profile you originally addressed the question to can then answer it. I find this very interesting in the fact that such a simple thing as asking questions has become a type of social networking like Facebook and twitter. I think that this gives other people a chance to ask questions that they may not normally ask you in person or questions that they may want to know answers to but are too afraid to ask...this option to be anonymous shines a new light on the ways we can "fish" for details. I have always considered asking questions to be something simple where more broad questions are asked when first meeting someone and asking more detailed questions are reserved for those who are closest to you (family, close friends, and partners) but with this kind of website it is difficult to keep in track who is who as well as all of the questions and their answers, not to mention that the answers are open to whoever is viewing your profile.
