Have you checked out the latest popular social media site, Formspring?
It's a site which simply allows users to ask you anything, even anonymously, with no limits to the length of your reply. Fomspring encourages people to find out more about each other in a simple and fun way. Responses can range from straightforward to surprising and can lead to understanding something more about the people you know or find interesting.
This social website is growing very quickly, especially within the under-20 demographic, and already has over 20 million users.
Last Friday I created a profile for myself, and in just a few days I've answered 41 questions from fans & followers across my networks.
One of my artists, Billy the Kid, created her Formspring page the following day here. And since Saturday, she's answered a whopping 162 questions from fans! And with each and every reply she makes, she strengthens the bond between artist and fan.
If you want to truly embrace the social web, connect with fans and peers, and open yourself up to new potential, don't ignore Formspring. It's a powerful tool for building a lasting relationship with your most ardent supporters. With Formspring you can have fun, share insights, and relate to fans in a completely new way.
Note: Tumblr blogs also have a "Ask Me Anything" feature, although it does have a different demographic.
