Here we go again!
I reported a few weeks back about the now internet infamous app called "Peeple" which allowed you to write reviews about people you know Yelp style. Since it became a huge internet phenomenon, Julia Cordray (Peeple's CEO) made a number of changes that turned the horrible idea into a rather useless one. Glad that was over with, right? RIGHT?
Meet "The Know," a new app (not made by the same people) that brings things to a whole knew level. Let's break it down... In this version of the human intrusive app selection we seem to be seeing a lot of, you fill out up to 20 fields about a person you know, like their name, address, etc, and you are anonymously set up in a chat conversation with someone who also knows the person you put into the fields. Then, you essentially can ask what this random person knows about this guy/girl. This can be between gossip, advice, or better yet... slander.
The Know founder Aswan Morgan via e-mail through the Observer said the app will allow users to ?exchange relevant intel in an effort to make better-informed dating decisions.? He said it?s better than the ?audacious? Peeple app and its ?dreadful execution? because The Know is ?discreet? and ?tasteful.? I can't wait to see the reality check this guy is hit with. Peeple should have been a clear message to these folk.
So in case you wanted to have another helping of insane added to your week, fear not, The Know has you covered! More information can be found here via The Observer and here via The Young Turks. Have fun!
