Relationship app Peeple to launch on March 7

Washington

PEEPLE, the so-called "Yelp for people" was a concept so bad that it seemed unlikely to ever come to market. But to our surprise, the app that wants you to review all your relationships is now launching on March 7 - albeit with a slate of enfeebling changes.

The new Peeple will still allow you to publicly rate your bosses, baristas and exes, according to the Calgary Herald. But in this iteration, all those people would have to opt in in order for you to review them - and, if you say something nasty, they can hide the negative comments. In other words, Peeple is basically LinkedIn endorsements . . . plus some PR baggage.
