Peeple was a mobile application that allows people to leave recommendations[1] for other people based on professional, personal, and romantic relationships. Initially described as a "Yelp for People",[1] the original announcement in October 2015 drew criticism over concerns of harassment, and its creators launched a "watered-down" version of Peeple in March 2016. Many critics have noted the similarity of the application to the "Nosedive" episode of the science fiction anthology series Black Mirror as well as other fictional works about social media with themes of gender and obsession with image.
The company was founded in April 2014 by Nicole McCullough and CEO Julia Cordray.[1]
