Peeple is scheduled to launch in November 2015. How you leave reviews for restaurants on Yelp, Peeple is where you leave reviews of people. Good? Bad?
I consider some of the details outlined in this article published by the Washingtonpost.com
Somebody had to think of this before. There is Hot or Not where you determine whether a person is attractive or not. Then there is the platform to find out more about college professors. But is the person-rating app taking it too far? What does it mean to recruiting? Some are saying it’s Tinder, Facebook and LinkedIn all rolled up into a single application, but comments on some of their videos, documenting the journey to launch, are less than positive.
The big thing, the people in their database will not be opting-in. You will be submitted by people you ‘know’. I doubt my mom will be the one submitting my info and saying how great I am. My colleagues might, but they may not. Supposedly it won’t be anonymous, which is good and will probably cut down on bullying and lead to accountability. We’ll see.
What are your thoughts on Peeple? Leave them in the comments below!
