ASKfm
Description
ASKfm is an anonymous social networking site which is built on a question and answer format.
Users can follow other users although they cannot see who is following them, only the number of followers that they have. Users can also look at the questions and answers on other profiles.
It is possible to ask questions anonymously or users can identify themselves. Questions only appear on a profile when they have been answered, and users can choose not to receive questions from anonymous posters.
