Spring.me

Formspring rebranded as Spring.me after cyberbullying killed the original — the same anonymous Q&A product with a new name had identical harassment problems and shut 12 months later

Fatal mistake: Spring.me was the rebrand of Formspring after cyberbullying controversies. Formspring had been anonymous Q&A social with 30M users. Rebranded as Spring.me 2012. Core product unchanged — anonymous questions. Same cyberbullying problems returned immediately. Teen suicide cases linked to anonymous question harassment continued. App Store restrictions re-applied. Spring.me shut June 2013.
