Peeple: Yelp for people
- pavel_lishin 11y ago> * If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews.* So if I have no interest in reviewing anyone, and thus don't register on the site, no negative reviews can be left about me? Actually, come to think of it, since my phone number is necessary to post a review - and the way to get my phone number is to get me to sign up through Facebook, and thus share it - doesn't it mean that no reviews about me can be left at all?
- ThatGeoGuy 11y ago> Imagine every interaction you’ve ever had suddenly open to the scrutiny of the Internet public. I think in some cases this has happened to people, and I'm not sure that it ended up being good for them or anyone involved. For now it doesn't seem like they'll post bad reviews of people if you don't sign up; however, I can see how an app like this might be subject to brigading / trolling if you happen to have a disagreement with someone / some community online. Beyond that, I can see this being used as a shitty hiring metric (hell, some companies hire partly based on your Facebook profile), and quite frankly I don't want to have to seek employment in that sort of environment.

"creator of app for collecting unsolicited feedback can't handle unsolicited feedback" etc. Some nice spoonfuls if irony, right there.
