Yelp for people is here.
Peeple is a free app that launched recently, and yes, it’s exactly like Yelp, but for people.
From the Sauce: “Peeple is an app that allows you to recommend and be recommended by the people you interact with in your daily lives in three ways: personally, professionally, and romantically.”
Uh oh, says nearly everyone.
The app was announced late last year, and nearly everyone thought it was a prank. But it’s not. Get ready for people to rate you, guy. Yeah, I’m talking to you. You better not look at me like that, because I have Peeple.
BUT it’s not quite the end of the world as we know it, as you can’t be super anonymous ( which we all know makes people into monsters), you have to have a FB profile that’s been active for at least 6 months and a cell phone number, and you need those things to create a profile, and from there you can rate people.
We can see this turning into a weird dating site. Guy likes girl he knows vaguely, he ‘rates’ her and tells everyone she’s awesome. Girl must approve of rating, girl likes being told she’s awesome, girl dates guy. Guy is actually a big meanie, girl breaks up with guy, guy rates her badly, girl doesn’t approve rating and moves on with her life.
Right?
That, combined with Linkedin, Kinda.
UNTIL next month, when they’re planning to release a paid version, where anyone who pays can see all reviews written about everyone, even if they’re not approved. Ouch.
Will you use Peeple?
