Odd that there's no mention of Tumblr's "Ask Me" (or Facebook's attempt, for that matter). Formspring was getting some traction on Tumblogs, got a nice write-up on TechCrunch[1] et al, then Tumblr released their own version[2] two days later. A few months after that, Facebook started to work on their own[3], only to eventually kill it the end of last year. The takeaway always seemed like Formspring was a feature (and a minor one at that), not a product.
