Formspring Me

Is it me, or is this thing the "new" facebook? Katie, my neighbor, has signed up for this website and answers questions on it constantly.
Don't know what this website is?
It's pretty simple, you sign up for it, you can even link it to your facebook and have this formspring site be set up with your facebook status so all of your friends can ask you random questions. This can be totally anonymous, or if you have one of these things then your user name could appear next to your question, but it doesn't have to be.
This site allows you to decide what questions you answer, and the things people ask you are pretty ridiculous. In fact the things people actually answer and how they answer is pretty ridiculous as well. Katie has decided to answer every question the best she can. Some of these questions are pretty personal, and I'm still trying to figure out who would ask these questions to Katie. On the other hand I'm still pretty baffled with the fact that she's actually answering these instead of just deleting them.
All of this internet communication really takes away from the days when we used to talk to people face to face. This website just lets people ask you the things they are too embarrassed to ask you to your face, but they apparently get pretty gutsy when they know that no one knows who they are.
Katie has become so obsessed with this website that she checks it after every class, and pretty much at least every five minutes. I guess I just don't get it.
