Posts Tagged ‘New app will allow people to rate you’

Peeple, an app launching this November, will invite you to rate everyone elsepeeple like there were restaurants on Yelp. “Personally, professionally and romantically”, founders Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough think it’s going to provide a whole lot of benefit for letting you know who’s in your life.

As their website says, Peeple will enhance your online reputation for access to better quality networks, top job opportunities, and promote more informed decision making about people. Authentic and relevant information about you and others you interact with is paramount to our vision for this app.

Ooh boy. There’s no way this can go well for anybody, can it? Do we really want people to be able to rate us “personally, professionally and romantically”? What, are we going to have a 5-star system like restaurants and hotels?

I can hear it now:

“Hey Larry, check out your Peeple score. Romantically you have a 1-star rating. Bwahahahahaha!”

Or . . .

“Sorry Linda. I’d love to go out with you but your Peeple personality score is only 1.5 stars. Thanks but no thanks.”

On a related note, I don’t even want to think about how some of my exes could bring my personality score down. Yikes.
