Formspring.me Review

The Good:

• Very Simple and Clean Interface
• Anybody, regardless if they have a profile or not, can ask question!
  
• You can keep track of different profiles through one stream.
  
• You can ask Anonymously.
  
• Being able to ask one question to multiple profiles that your following.
• Getting an E-Mail notification when your question is answered.
• Facebook Connect integration.
  

What I'd Like to See:

• A way to see all of the questions you've asked to different profiles, anonymous or not.
  
• An ability to see what questions a person has asked through the person's profile.
• A Twitter style box, showing who a person is following on Formspring.
  
• Something along the lines of following up on a question after you answer it. For Example: I'm asked "Have you watched The Dark Knight?", I Say "No, I won't be watching it.". After answering the question, it disappears in your inbox. You decide to follow up on the question by going on your profile to find the question and then you click 'Follow-Up' by adding to the answer. That question would then move back up to the top of your Questions Answered profile.
  
• So Imagine This:
• Have You Watched 'The Dark Knight'?
  No, I won't be watching it.
  FOLLOW-UP: I Happened to catch it on HBO, very very good!

I really like Formspring.me. I hope it becomes the next big thing. It's better than those Facebook question apps, mainly because anybody can ask a question without having an account! You can catch me on Formspring right here. Go ahead...Ask Me Anything!

Dr. Annoyance: Facebook Fan Pages

It’s Dr. Annoyance here, bringing you something that annoys the shit out of me. At this time, it’s Facebook Pages.

I love social web sites. I’m an avid Twitterer and spend a lot of time on Facebook. Without Facebook, I probably wouldn’t be apart of many different conversations on Packer hating and discussions on movies. I have no problem with expressing yourself. Being a fan of a movie/artist/TV Show is fine with me. Mostly because I know if I become a fan of that product, I know I’ll get updates and important news about it. When things like this gets fan pages, it’s where I draw the line.



So, if I’m not a fan of having an STD, does that mean I’m a fan of having an STD? No, absolutely not. Who hasn’t had to blow into video games to make them work. I’d like to know, if you are a fan of not having an STD, are you consistently getting updates to continue to be STD free? Probably not.

To wrap this up: If your starting a fan page to be funny or cute, don’t invite me. If your trying to upstart a revolution by getting a restaurant in a town, be serious about it. Use that page to start rallies and spread petitions. Don’t become a fan and just say, “Yeah, it’d be nice.” and then nothing comes out of it. That is the equivalent of not having the fan page, which is a waste of space on the internets.

Go to a Tab on Firefox Faster than the Ctrl + Tab Command

Got Nine tabs open in Firefox?? Want to get to it fast?? There is an easy way of accessing the tab without the Ctrl + Tab command.

Lets say you Have five tabs open. Digg, Slashdot, Google, GMail, and Protopage all opened up at the same time, lined up in that order.

If you wanted were on the GMail tab and you wanted to get to the Digg Tab quick, all you would have to do is press Ctrl + 1. Here is an easy way of putting it.

If Digg is the First tab, then you would press Ctrl + 1.

If Slashdot is the Second tab, then you would press Ctrl + 2.

If Google is the Third tab, then you would press Ctrl + 3.

If GMail is the Fourth tab, then you would press Ctrl + 4.

If Protopage is the Fifth tab, then you would press Ctrl + 5.

If you deleted the Slashdot Tab, then the formula would end up like this.

If Digg is the First tab, then you would press Ctrl + 1.

Since Slashdot was removed as a tab, Google moves up as the Second tab, therefore you would press Ctrl + 2.

GMail moves up as the Third tab, therefore you would press Ctrl + 3.

Protopage moves up as the Fourth tab, therefore you would press Ctrl + 4.

Ctrl + 5 would be nonexistant as a command unless another tab was opened in its place.

If you have more than nine tabs open, the commands still work, but they only work with tabs one through nine. Go ahead try it out yourself.
