There was a great write up in Techcrunch about a product from Indianapolis-based startup formspring called formspring.me. (Almost anytime a local company gets attention in Techcrunch, I get excited)
If you haven’t heard of it, formspring.me is a super simple tool that allows people to ask you a question anonymously. It’s particularly popular on Tumblr.
I know a few of the guys at formspring, and from what I’m told they created formspring.me AFTER users started using their core product for this social networking purpose. While this doesn’t quite rank up there with penicillin, it’s always cool to see unexpected discoveries from just doing great work.
