Formspring has just added such a feature. The site now lets you pose the same question to more than one friend at a time.
For example, I was going to ask my friend Jenna what her favorite restaurant in the city is, but I remembered that Bob and Gordon are also big-time foodies. Instead of having to go to each person's profile individually, I can now ask them all en masse.
You'll be able to ask these questions of multiple Formspring users as well as your friends and followers on other social networks, including Facebook, WordPress, Tumblr and Twitter. The only catch: You can't ask anonymously once you start asking multiple people.
Formspring's growth has been nothing short of meteoric lately; in fact, we've been told that this app has just passed the 14 million users mark. The way the company is adding features, creating clever integrations and tweaking the UI probably has a lot to do with that.
For example, Formspring recently gave users the ability to export questions and answers to WordPress and MySpace. In excess of 200,000 users took advantage of this integration within the first few days of its launch.
In fact, the Q&A site has become so popular and its use so viral that we've spotted direct clones of its core feature in the wild on other sites from other startups.
Do you use Formspring? If so, do you find this new feature interesting and useful? Do you think it will help the application grow and reach more users? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
