This App Lets You Crowdsource Dating Advice... While You're On Dates
- greenyoda 13y ago"While out on a date, you crowdsource real-time advice from Facebook friends, Crowdpilot's community of users, and/or strangers from Amazon's Mechanical Turk program (whose participants earn a nominal fee-per-minute to tune in), as they listen in on your date via your phone's microphone. (You are advised to disclose this early on in the date.)" Broadcasting a personal conversation to unknown people sounds incredibly creepy. What if the person you're dating happens to know some of those people (e.g., they're a friend of one of your Facebook friends)? And what kind of impression does it give to a prospective partner? That you're so socially inept that you can't go on a date without someone's help? That you care more about fiddling with your phone than talking to the person in front of you? Technology is not really the answer to every problem.
