Well, a few days ago, I encountered Ask.fm and its lovely! It's a social network where you can follow people (like twitter) but ask them questions you always wanted to. It could be anonymous too (that's the good part!)

Ask.fm is a site dedicated entirely to questions and answers. Users can ask a question or submit answers. The site also allows users to post anonymously or with their name attached to their contribution. The answers can be either in text or video format. Users can check out other user profiles, which include the user's interests and an area to submit a question directly to the specific user. The user profile also lists the number of answers the user has provided and how many likes they received by the Ask.fm community. Ask.fm is available in numerous languages, including German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Norse, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and many more.

What is the history and popularity of the app?
Ask.fm was founded in June of 2010 by Oskars Liepins, Ilja Terebin and Mark Terebin. The application was intended to act as a conversational question and answer tool. Ask.fm would encourage users to interact and hold discussions to help find answers to the user's questions. The company is based out of Riga, Latvia and currently consists of less than 10 individuals, including CEOs Ilja and Mark Terebin.

What are the differences to other apps?
The service offered by Ask.fm is not terribly unique. There are many other online resources that allow users to ask questions and get answers from the online community. What makes Ask.fm appealing for some is the focus on conversations. Users can ask one another questions and maintain profiles that reveal the user's personal interests. This can also help some users locate experts in specific areas who might be good candidates to provide answers.
