Do You Formspring Review
Adam Rose-Levy introduces listeners to a social networking site, Formspring.me, which is rapidly growing in popularity. I think it is a great choice of topics, because as a teenager, I’ve been hearing more and more lately about this site. The piece is geared towards those considering creating a Formspring account, laying out the pros and cons of the site. Though it was short and simple, it addresses possible problems with cyber-bullying that could occur. The narrator shares his opinion on Formspring, admitting that he has an account, but looks to his peers for additional opinions. The music at the beginning and ending of the piece us slightly bizarre and distracting, but the piece as a whole is balanced and informative.
