Lately, I've been noticing a new type of social network is been getting more and more popular. This newly popular social network is Ask.fm . Basically it allows you to ask questions to a persons account either having your name available or on anon mode. (Short for Anonymous, I believe) It gives you the opportunity to ask the questions that you wouldn't ask in real human interaction life.
To me, one of the only positives of Ask is for me to get a good laugh out of my friends by asking silly questions on anon. An example would be "Do you consider yourself a professional yoloer?" That friend would instantly know it was from me because I'm pretty much the only person who still uses yolo. There was no harm in that, it was fun.
To me, having an Ask account is just asking for attention. At first it will be the funny, positive, inside joke attention from your friends. Then there will be the occasional actual curious person who is just wanting to know how you do something. The rest of the people are just negative Anons who want to ask inappropriate questions. The questions you will get could range from slightly not nice to completely unreasonable. Once you make you account, you are asking for anyone to ask you any question. The possibilities are endless. But once you get a question you don't like, it is nearly impossible for you to figure out who sent it. Ask no longer makes you have an account to ask the questions, you'll never know who sent it to you. That personally freaks me out.
I have never had an ask account, I probably never will make a personal account. The vast majority of the people who I know who have account, wishes the never made it. I think that says something.
THIS IS IN NO WAY SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER GO ON ASK.FM. Use it as you wish. If you have a good head on your shoulders and use the website like it was meant to, go ahead. It will be as good as you make it.
This was just my opinion on ask.fm, I'd love to hear yours!
To each their own :)
