@veronica could this be PH's next vertical? People Hunt? cc: @rrhoover

I really hate that anyone can just sign anyone else up without their permission. Their FAQ gives you all kinds of ways to rate people, whether they want to be part of it or not, but no way to opt-out.

#Peeple is trending on Twitter. Internet has responded! Haha. Their website and Facebook page are down.

I'm sure that the intentions were good but there are big problems with the concept. What kind of a person you are is predominantly determined by your actions rather than what people say. Also it's very, very subjective and depends on the perspective and personal values. One man's hero is another man's villain

"Yelp for People", as WaPo suggests: Everyone you know will be able to rate you on the terrifying 'Yelp for people' - whether you want them to or not http://www.washingtonpost.com/ne...

This is EASILY going to become a favorite tool of GamerGate and their offshoots. Let's face it: the ability of people to discover the cellphone number of their targets is not hard at all. A terrible app. If it was indeed allowed into the App Store, a concentrated effort to report it to Apple would need to happen.

Can you imagine how this would look like for younger people. That do not have the self esteem, to handle bad reviews. Total nightmare! We should say no to that kind of products.
