It shouldn't come as a surprise that every X months there's a new teen thing. IIRC, FormSpring was one such thing that seems to have faded from the zeitgeist. Will be interesting to see which way SnapChat, Yo, etc. go.

I understand your sentiment, but I know weheartit has been around for a long time at this point (circa 2008). It always reminded me of a Pinterest alternative.
Weheartit is 8+ years old. They didn't build 30 million users in the last few months. New to you, doesn't mean new.
Everyone went to Ask.fm instead.
Every 9-12 months, a batch of trend setters go to college and a new thing is emerges in a group that loves new things.
