You probably have heard about Ask.FM already from your colleagues or friends and you're wondering what it is? Ask.FM is a social networking website where you can ask people questions, with a option to be anonymous.
If you haven't registered on Ask.FM yet, you definitely should go give them a try as their population is increasing by thousands each day and probably going to become one of the top visited websites in the future soon. Ask.FM is gaining popularity for a reason and if visitors found out this to be just " another social networking site " like Facebook or Myspace, they would instantly leave. I mean seriously, using 5 different IM social networking sites is like having 5 remotes for the same TV.
How to use Ask.FM?
It's simple. You follow people and ask them whatever you want to. There's a option to become anonymous when asking a question just in case you don't want the other person to know your identity. ;)
Ask.FM is the best place for stalking people of interest or that hot girl in school you have a crush on.
But beware..although it may seem Ask.FM is a friendly place, there have a been lot of reports on suicides because of bullying on the website. So if you're popular and very sensitive, I suggest you stay away from this website to avoid problems.
