I am suprised by detractors - come on people: social dynamics, plus anonymity, plus flirting, plus cyber stalking?
This has the perfect viral pull of "I wonder if anybody likes me" - kind of like that brilliant old Classmates.com line "Is an old classmate searching for you?" or HotOrNot.com
Facebook-attaché Formspring.me has nailed the anon part alone and been rewarded with insane, fairly sustainable traffic:

I'm not sure this is a huge, revolutionary business but I'll bet that these guys do pretty darn well and as a feeder to dating sites they'll crush it (which incidentally powered a huge part of FB's early revenue and is still an important cornerstone).
- pat2man 16y agoI totally agree. Facebook has become a bad place to flirt. Who wants to share pictures of their grandma with their latest crush? This has the potential of becoming the standard for dating.
- theklub 16y agoI agree its a great idea. Feels like real time missed connections for college kids. Craiglist should of seen this coming.
