Plank.ly a New Site Like Formspring!

Post by LeonBlade »

Hey guys,

I'm here to talk to you about a new site that literally just launched this morning.
It's called Plank and it's a lot like what Formspring is.

You can customize your profile page, like so: My profile.
With a background option and being able to choose the colors of certain elements, it's a pretty nice feature to have.

Along with that, are some other stuff like Unanswered questions (apparently I don't know) and of course video.
You are able to record 1 minute max clips for questions to send people, unlike formspring which only allows text questions.
Then they can respond in either text or video answer as well.

You can link up your Plank to Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr to post your questions automatically when you answer them for your friends to see. You can also invite friends by e-email if you like. Notifications can be sent to e-mail and also to your phone if you like via text messages.

Go ahead and check it out if you like, like I said it just launched, so there really isn't anyone on the site but me and the creator :lol:
Also, if you have any bugs or anything you'd like to see added, please leave a reply here.
And if you do sign up, please leave your profile here so everyone, including me, can follow you and ask you questions :)

Thanks.

:lol: you don't need to give it personal details, just put in fake information if you don't feel secure.
