Ask me anything

Formspring has a nice simple concept.   You set up an account and people can “ask you anything”, and then if you choose to answer, it gets published on your page.

Here’s my page….go on, “ask me anything”.

There are basically two sides to this.

First, it can be a bit self-delusional and narcissistic.  “Wow isn’t it cool that you can ask ME anything?”.  Yawn for me, thrill for you.

But more importantly, it’s a platform for “on-demand blogging”. You see….I have a rather sizable cross to bear.  I know you’re out there, pining for my next masterpiece…..and yet, I rarely come up with topics worthy of my pen while sober.

So here’s the deal:

“Ask me anything” on the formspring page.  It’s anonymous if you want it to be.

If it’s really stupid, I’ll delete it and give it nary another thought.

If it’s just kind of stupid, I’ll answer it on the formspring page.

If it’s intelligent, thought-provoking or generally complimentary of me, I will use it as a topic for this vaulted web-log (I like to call it a “blog” for short) AND link to the final post from my formspring page.

p.s. If you have (or start) a formspring page, let us all know in the comments below.  I’ll question your very being, without the veil of anonymity.

p.s.s.  It’s buggy right now so if you don’t have patience for startup-sites, don’t bother.
