Yelp For People To Launch In November
HughPickens.com writes: Caitlin Dewey reports in the Washington Post that 'Peeple' — basically Yelp, but for humans will launch in November. Subtitled "character is destiny," Peeple is an upcoming app that promises to "revolutionize the way we're seen in the world through our relationships" by allowing you to assign reviews of one to five stars to everyone you know: your exes, your co-workers, the old guy who lives next door. You can't opt out — once someone puts your name in the Peeple system, it's there unless you violate the site's terms of service. And you can't delete bad or biased reviews — that would defeat the whole purpose. "People do so much research when they buy a car or make those kinds of decisions," says co-founder Julia Cordray. "Why not do the same kind of research on other aspects of your life?"
According to Caitlin, one does not have to stretch far to imagine the distress and anxiety that such a system will cause even a slightly self-conscious person; it's not merely the anxiety of being harassed or maligned on the platform — but of being watched and judged, at all times, by an objectifying gaze to which you did not consent. "If you're one of the people who miss bullying kids in high school, then Peeple is definitely going to be the app for you!," says Mike Morrison. "I'm really looking forward to being able to air all of my personal grievances, all from the safety of my phone. Thanks to the app, I'll be able to potentially ruin someone's life, without all the emotional stress that would occur if I actually try to fix the problem face-to-face."

My first review of Julia Cordray on Peeple:
"Peeple co-founder Julia Cordray is a greedy bitch who sees noting wrong with a platform that allows reliable, anonymous character assassination. I have it on good authority that she also has sex with dogs while smoking crack and watching kiddie porn."
Just cruising through this digital world at 33 1/3 rpm...
This is beyond evil, even further than their extortionary treatment of local businesses.
Yelp can burn in a fiery hell.
TL;DR: Fuck you Yelp.
[social network entrepreneurs] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should
This is truly a terrible idea that can serve no good end except to that segment of the population that judges itself on popularity through conformance. My HOA would love this. I can't wait until this starts being used on job interviews.
I for one intended to get out my personality pink plastic flamingos and get ready for the apocalypse.
Sounds like an Onion article!
"once someone puts your name in the Peeple system, it's there unless you violate the site's terms of service"
Can't wait to violate me some terms of service!
How do you rate Nicole McCullough and Julia Cordray?
Problem solved.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
This seems like a great opportunity for legions of civic-minded people to give one-star ratings to everyone and make the service useless.
Nostalgia's not what it used to be.
Ooh ooh, I can't wait to rate her. Let's see what kind of trolling I can dish out so she can have a taste of her own medicine. Then again, I'm betting this is like yelp -- pay to remove negative reviews.
"says Mike Morrison. "I'm really looking forward to being able to air all of my personal grievances, all from the safety of my phone."
Let the airing of grievances begin! It's a Festivus miracle!
Pretending this is my office full of bitter coworkers..
Now, now. Stop insulting the dogs like that.
This has bad idea written all over it, and I hope they get raked over the coals in courts around the world for it, not just for the harassment angle, but also the potential for defamation.
I foresee an upcoming bonanza for defamation specialists!
My children's generation will never the immense empowerment that comes from being able to tell someone you're likely to never, ever see again in your life, exactly what you think of them, face to face, without repercussion. I spent the last week of my High School internment doing just that, and the empowerment that came from it is exhilarating to this day -- as is the fond memory of telling the 'jock star' of High School who was also Bully #1 to me from elementary age on, "That's right bitch, put the bread on top." right in front of my mother as we checked out of the local grocery store five years post graduation, where that son of a bitch still bagged groceries.
I wonder, how long will it take for this to turn into a shit-storm, where you can easily identify the cocks and cunts with poor people skills that have nothing better to do with their life than to trash other people on yelp. WTF.
...is right here in this screenshot. Irony alert.
This seems like it was specifically designed to to generate libel lawsuits.

"FaceYelp" was predicted by Randall Marsh of Cracked.com in 2012. Cracked.com later ran an entire Photoplasty contest of online customer reviews for people.
The downside is that it would make life very hard for people on the autistic spectrum in a world of people who don't understand the autistic spectrum.
Challenge accepted!
I see absolutely no way this could possibly go wrong.
You can't just write bad crap about everyone on the web -- it's legally actionable. If anything you say can be proven to make someone lose money directly they can sue for damages. Good luck.. :)
ignore it, and it will go away
I might use it once to tell the founder's of this company that they enjoy riding dicks
Called Peeple Pleaser We all get together, say a few hundred thousand of us download the app, and it will automatically upvote each other into the stratosphere.

Everyone relax...who is going to trust "Peeple" (horrible name, btw) when anyone can post anything about anyone else. Only an idiot would put any stock in what appears on this app. Admittedly, there are a lot of idiots in the world, hopefully your potential boss won't be one of them.
I wonder if the creator of this service is one of those "social justice" types. This service seems to be tailored to the idea of being able to provide a harassment platform.
Hopefully this service drowns in noise or gets sued out of existence.

Just don't use their crappy app. From TFA...
If you haven't registered for the site, and thus can't contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews.
Especially in EU countries, where posting other people's personal details publicly against their will can be a crime. Anyways, I sincerely hope that at least some unregistered people who will be unwillingly "reviewed", either positively or negatively, will launch massive lawsuits against both the company and the reviewers. You know, those lawsuits whose only purpose is to ruin the sued person's life: a 50 million request for damages, the court will decide in 3 years, and let's see if you can sleep at night in the meantime.
And honestly I wouldn't be sad if someone reacted to unsolicited reviews the good old way: with a gun.
Now people can be judged by the mistakes they make at 14 for the job they apply for at 55! How awesome is that??ha??
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
Sending out unsolicited text messages like this app does is illegal in both Canada and the US, with monetary fines for the company for *each* text sent. Seems someone didn't pass their business plan by a lawyer.

There clearly will be some sort of paying business model, like yelp, BBB, and others to hide or influence things that are displayed about you. The simplest solution is to take the approach the band Primus did, or the Botto Bistro in San Francisco.
This app will be sued to oblivion when it start preventing people from getting a job.
From the article,
"If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews."
Thus if you never register, you're invulnerable to bad reviews.
Good idea, bad idea -- doesn't this strike anyone as just juvenile? This is the kind of crap we did when I was in grade school -- only we did it with pencil and paper (yeah, I'm *that* old).
Seriously, why would an actual adult actually care? What's the point of this?
Because human nature for many lets me down more often than not, my thoughts on where this will go.
I'm gonna refer to the Han Solo quote on this one (and I'm not talking about the Kessel Run).
"Who are you?" "No one of consequence." "I must know." "Get used to disappointment."

They humorously addressed this already.
This new website will be a private competition to NSA (or other agency) databases. Or a complement. Peeple will complement everyone's profile with the insights that would normally never be recorded on internet.
Currently US intelligence community "does not" have the files for absolute majority of the citizens. What they do have is databases, available to be queried and the profile of the websites visited, people contacted, or other activities. Imagine this as an old fashioned address book, supplemented with the key interests, ranked by popularity of the connections.
Privacy becomes a privilege. It comes with the cost.
I predict a very ironic 1 star review on Yelp.
Peeple? More like Creeple.
Hey, Windows users, there is no such thing as "forward" slash, there is only slash and backslash.
Unfortunately it's rarely a person who deserves it.
This sounds like it'll be totally useless at best and a source of libel at worst.
From the Washington Post article:
I guess the "established Facebook account" is supposed to keep bots off of Peeple, but how long until someone uses compromised Facebook accounts to post reviews on Peeple?
And how does Peeple verify this number? "I'd like to review Donald Trump. His mobile phone number is 212-867-5309." Is Peeple going to be placing calls "Hey, someone said you are PERSON'S NAME. Can you verify this for us?" Or will it just accept any mobile phone number as valid?
So if I don't register for the site, then only positive comments about me get posted but if I register the negative ones get posted too? What's the incentive to register? Why not just stay unregistered and tout that 100% positive rating on Peeple?
My sci-fi novel, Ghost Thief, is now available from Amazon.com.
That's about as much of a grievance as a Game of Thrones fan complaining that "Dothraki" isn't in a spell checker's dictionary. If you'll be making references to holidays invented by the writers of Seinfeld, you could just add it to the personal dictionary instead of your list of grudges. If you do choose to hold a grudge, make it against the trademark and copyright laws that discourage addition of well-known elements from popular non-free media franchises to spell checking software in the first place.
Any review that goes on this yelp-people, or for that matter yelp in general, has to be taken in context, and that is the one thing that is usually not included in the actual review.
Some good may come of this, but I for one will not be participating. A lot more bad will come of this.
This is exactly the reason why facebook stayed away from having a dislike button for SO long.
Did you mean a Juris Doctor? A juvenile delinquent? Or a Juris Doctor retained by a juvenile delinquent?
I doubt these people have the answer but whoever can figure this out will be rich beyond belief. The real problem with this idea is it seems like it's like Yelp which just accepts and store reviews. That is pretty meaningless in real life. There are people in my life who seem to be well loved by many but I can't stand. On the flip side there are some real jerks that I get along with fine depending on what we are doing. Going fishing is great but working on a project not so much.
The real goal would be something like the Netflix recommendation algorithm. If I get along with someone it should see who else that person gets along with and I may get along with them even if not too many other people like them. And that is just for one type of activity and it's not always a one - one relationship.

If you could only post positive things, this app could have had great potential. One of those "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" kind of things. It would still work the same way, but it wouldn't allow people trolling people and ruining their lives.

... She'll be doxxed and harassed to no end before this thing leaves Beta. Once it goes live, it will be battered with intrusion attempts. I cannot wait to see how it all goes down.
Its painfully obvious this is a bad idea, but watching it play out should provide quite a bit of entertainment.
I hope they, the we website operators, have a very big warchest, to go on endless wars with the lawyers of people from all walks of life. Unless of course, lawyers are the ones who are fueling this fire. I can not see anything good coming of this type of site. The guy you had a tiff once in your high school years, or your ex, whom you didn't have an amicable separation, can trash you and your reputation in an instant. Of course you can retaliate in the same way but it is a loose-loose premise.

In the episode, someone created MeowMeowBeanz and allowed you to rate people. This turned Greendale into a caste society with people voting each other up/down. http://community-sitcom.wikia.... I can only imagine the hellish nightmare that would be reality when this comes out.

You will be able to pay to wipe reviews of yourself from the website, just before the class action lawsuits roll in and the sudden shutdown.

But if this is true:
If you havenâ(TM)t registered for the site, and thus canâ(TM)t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews.

Then simply never register for the site, and frankly yet another reason to dump your Facebook account if you have one.

DNS redirect poisoning anyone? 99.999% of ISP DNS are NOT PATCHED vs. it to this very day (even though a patch exists).
Open DNS resolvers (not OpenDNS) are HUGELY a problem online as well as ROGUE DNS (which routers themselves have been exploited by too no less).
Tell us about CISCO 2811 routers being exploited lately too, Coren22, lol...
DNS rules = harder for users to edit themselves by FAR vs. hosts too
DNS uses MORE RESOURCES BY FAR vs. hosts locally & is more complex - especially IF/WHEN setup as a separate machine (electrical power use raises bigtime too) & EVEN as a service/daemon on their single machine.
Hosts even LIGHTEN UP remote DNS server loads (admins of them ought to like that, especially considering how often DNS goes "belly up" & they do, quite a LOT!).

Heck - I even FIX highly esteemed security tools like CIS Tool (who accepted my fixes & suggestions for it no less).

I'd hate for people to have to repost the same content.
So from what I gather, you need a Facebook account to join, and you need to know someone's cell # to add them.
I wonder if it's using Facebook's record of people's cell #s through their API in order to verify this. If so, just don't add your cell # to your FB (who the hell would do that, anyway)? Or put one on there (set so no one can see it) that's fake?

And they are going to get sued into whatever lies beyond oblivion, believe me, attorneys are going to be lining up for a piece of that action. Whatever genius venture capitalists are backing this farce have got to be smoking not just crack, but ALL of the crack. Seriously: how stupid are people getting? And how self-absorbed? Just unbelievable.
This is the WORST POSSIBLE IDEA.
Businesses checking your reviews.
OTHER PEOPLE checking your reviews.
Your ENEMIES reviewing you.
What could possibly go wrong?
Ah.... The old tick tock. After peeple is working and the users believe they are protected by being behind the computer the next app to hit the market will be a tracking app so that the offended can murder the people who upset them.

John Smith is going to be really pissed!
Where startups openly break the law (uber, airbnb, lyft, peeple, etc) and don't give a solitary fuck.
Needless to say we all encounter the occasional mentally disturbed person, asshole, way competitive coworker, etc and they are going to give us crap reviews. Real bear false witness type crap. So some people might think that the solution is to hire people on Fiverr to give us an overwhelming positive set of review to drown out the negative reviews.
But the reality is that most people can smell a shill review from a mile away so most people look at reviews and quickly go to the negative reviews to see if they make sense and were written by at least semi literate semi coherent human beings. So drowning out negative reviews with positive ones isn't perfect.
What is perfect is to drown out negative reviews with more negative reviews. Thus if many people go out to their friends and all cross review each other with the worst possible reviews ranging from the vaguely sensible to the , "Used to run with a gang in 12th century Asia, left many piles of heads." or "Hung out with a big guy and kept saying Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Then he acted on it repeatedly. Levelled many villages. We did have to sort him out so that he didn't rape the fields and pillage the women, though."
I hope that someone who has a huge following such as Howard Stern tells his minions to go out and review everyone they know in the worst way possible. This would then make the data completely worthless.
Another poison pill for their data would be to add countless versions yourself. Is that spelt Steinburg, Steinburg, Stienberg, or Steinberg? And which one? The one at 2342 Main the one at 2432 Main, the one at 2342A Main, or the one who is 23 or the one who is 27, who graduated from Citadel High or Citedal High?
So if we all put a bit of effort this terrible product can be sent to the hell it belongs in.
Reviews for John Smith and Maria Rodriguez are likely to become cumbersome and useless. In fact, only those with a unique name will be readily discoverable at this site.
Unless the soulless site owner decides to include other personally identifiable information. That would be risky without the express permission of the person being reviewed. OTOH, if a reviewer happens to mention the address / phone # / sexual orientation of the reviewed individual, could the site owner be held responsible in your country?
...omphaloskepsis often...
Perhaps they should give 5 "Stars of David" to those who are Jewish?
Libel and slander laws will be useful for prosecuting the dolts that start "rating" people on Peeple. I would also think that many Plaintiffs will include Peeple's principals and investors inn those lawsuits. That will keep their burn rate real hot!
What could possibly go wrong?
When are they planning to roll this out. I dont want to have to have my lawyers on retainer for too long.
In my country, like most sane countries we have very strong deformation and libel laws, some would say a bit too strong but I'd rather err on the side of caution given the number of dodgy people around these days.
If I got in first, I could take this "Yelp" to the cleaners for defamatory and libellous activities.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
See subject: Outside their private playpen of trolls (like here) @ Windows IT Pro forums publicly in front of the entire planet (Jeremy Reimer & Jay Little had their forums shutdown & had to move them to different hosting providers even for email harassment of myself which Reimer was placed onto a tracking ticket for by his ISP Shaw in Canada, lol).
CrystalTech removed Jay Little's website for libeling myself and making death threats directed my way.
Why?
He LITERALLY said "I am an expert on Exchange" well, not really WHEN I PROVED (using Microsoft's technical documentation) that memory optimizer technology UNHALTED stalled Exchange servers. He ran & trolled me on other forums (& did what's in bold above much to his dismay) + got told off @ NTCompatible.com too (on ramdrives that time)... he's a goof, & HIGHLY unskilled, & Reimer the total stooge used HIM as his "henchman" since he's too damn stupid in computing to even *TRY* take me on.
Too bad it took down a former "co-worker" of mine in Dr. Mark Russinovich who NEVER GOT OVER THE FACT my software outsold his while we worked for Sunbelt selling our wares thru them - he complained like a baby too, & tried it on me WAY before that article of his - only to get SMOKED by "yours truly".
Arstechnica = schmucks largely. Wannabes like you. Heck, I even caught this "GOD" guy there posting under 2 diff. accounts "supporting himself" (he used the same email on BOTH, that dumb fuck - talk stupid, & an indicator of the general level of brains there).
Why'd they hate me? Oh, well I just told it how it is... they TALK A LOT, like you, but created zero (especially anything anyone ever noted as good in code)... lol!
TRUTH HURTS for them, but this is ALL truth.

"which blocks more ads? Answer: uBlock/Adblock" by andymadigan (792996) on Sunday June 14, 2015 @12:04AM (#49907001)

ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...
UBlock/Adblock = far less efficient on CPU & RAM (added messagepassing, SLOW usermode vs. hosts in kernelmode) & NEITHER does a fraction of what hosts do in more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity.

Positive reviews will be published instantly. Negative ones will go to a private inbox for 48 hours. How do they tell the difference?
So if I give a bad review about Ronnie Pickering all Ronnie Pickering's are reviewed bad? Do I have to know a particular Ronnie Pickering's address? What if they move and another Ronnie Pickering moves into the same suburb. How can I change my review or how is it relevant or how can any of the reviews be considered relevant? RONNIE PICKERING!!

This is where we're headed people!
"Positive ratings post immediately; negative ratings are queued in a private inbox for 48 hours in case of disputes. If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews."
So, first of all, this punishes users for registering for the site. Given this information, I wonder if it will dissuade people from registering in the first place. On the other hand, assuming that they publish reviews attached to positive ratings immediately, I foresee people leaving negative text with positive ratings to work around this.
"On top of that, Peeple has outlawed a laundry list of bad behaviors, including profanity, sexism and mention of private health conditions."
I'm curious as to how they intend to outlaw these behaviours. I doubt that they are hand reviewing the reviews. So if my private health condition is mentioned then, presumably I have to somehow monitor the site for awareness of it, and then file a complaint *after* personal details have been disclosed.
On the other hand, this is a site that has not been launched yet and it has been in at least three major news outlets and we're talking about it on slashdot. I suppose we fell into the publicity trap hook, line and sinker.

Now THAT's libel bait. I expect to see lawyers getting rich off this...until the founders of Peeple go into personal bankruptcy.
Easy Fix - Simply carpet bomb negative reviews on Politicians, Law Enforcement, and people of authority. The site will last a week at best when everyone of any significance needs to take time out of golfing to deal with this. TOR and fake facebook accounts of course will be required.
I saw this the other day and the first thought that jumped into my head was "Wait, is it April 1st already?"
Since there are so many Bennet Hasselton's out there, we should definitely include their address and phone number (and maybe their SSN?) to make sure we're reviewing the right one. What could go wrong?
Why does this bring to mind a stepford kind of vibe? Or is it Logans run? Not sure but I know I just do not like this idea. What really bugs me is how middle-schoolers will use this as a way to cyber-bully the kids outside of their cliques, perhaps in a way that lasts waaay beyond middle school years? I just don't see a happy ending for this one.

I'll have the Law Guy on speed dial.
The first negative (or less than 100% positive) review and I'll have him jump in the middle of you with both feet and a briefcase full of dirty legal briefs.
I'll either end up fabulously wealthy at your expense, or you'll go out of business.
My extended family was abusive when I was young, and became involved in organized crime later. I married and moved out, and did not support them by avoiding them. So they targeted and threatened me and my family. I avoided them more. They persisted over several years, and after an episode related to a disease-in-the-mail threat, and at the frantic urging of law enforcement ("We can't prevent crimes like this; we just clean up afterward. This RIGHT HERE is what happens before the tragedy! I will pray for you that you wake up, and find the sense to disappear!"), we disappeared.
So, without exaggeration: I haven't used credit. I changed my name. I don't attend my church. I stopped working in academia (online employee listings). I became self-employed in another field. I home schooled my children. I talk to no one from my past. I have moved frequently, without leaving any forwarding information with anyone or anything for any reason. I regularly see that "find this person" websites have no listings for me or my family.
That might sound paranoid, but despite all that, they've tracked us down and found us before, so we have moved in a moment's notice, and moved and moved and moved and moved and moved and moved and moved again. Finally, I think we're pretty safe where we are at. We are making our stand here.
If one single person reviews me or my family, broadcasting our current location, and we are threatened with -- once again -- leaving everything behind, I will sue this company into oblivion. I had a call with our attorney this morning, and he will keep watch and be ready. These "peeple" have no notion or understanding whatsoever what they are doing, or what is truly at risk, and their glibness is no defense, morally or legally. If necessary, I will see that they learn exactly what is at stake here.
"The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom." Heads up, Peeple: People like their freedom. People want their freedom. People *need* their freedom. Threaten their freedom and you will find out just how much they do.
It's not beyond the realm of possibility that there were be at least one person out there who will look up every really-downvoted person on this thing and decide to skim the gene pool. Which would inevitably involve people who aren't the scum of the earth. What's the liability factor for the people making this when it comes to others deciding to go Boondocks Saints on the lowest-rated?
This will lead to fatalities, mark my words... Hitmen, suicides from bullying, people truly trying to turn their life around who still won't be given a chance after doing so... (HR people will undoubtedly use this in decision-making. Want to never get a decent job because you went through a phase for a few months?)
Flush this before it sees the light of day.
If it is run by Yelp, a lot of people will find that their comments don't appear unless someone selects to view censored comments button by acknowledging they agree to EULA stating these are comments allegedly flagged as SPAM by their filters and typing in a CAPCHA. Most won't go through all this to view comments that are marked as SPAM.
Start the countdown in November to the biggest bullying free -for -all in modern times. Since I'm very good at predicting such things, allow me to state now that
deaths will occur unnecessarily due to the fact that one doesn't have to act on a bad idea. YELP will. In light of warnings, Yelp will be committing at the minimum : Criminal Negligence. One weakness uncovered in this modern age of computing is that every bonehead has the power to effect his or her fellow mankind in such a way as to potentially turn others lives into a living hell. I for one will never use Yelp in any form ever again.
