Crowd Sourcing Dating
February 17, 2014 in Daily Bulletin
Chris Gayomali wrote about a new app that could aid your dating life…or foretell the end of society and civilization as we know it:
- Crowdpilot turns on a phone’s microphone and allows a community of users to listen in on your date.
- The users can be your Facebook friends or random strangers and they offer advice based on the progress of the date.
- Advice might include “you’re talking about yourself too much” or “you’re eating too quickly”.
- Supporters point out that people often ask each other for dating related advice. This just makes the feedback more instant.
- Critics argue that it’s another step towards a society where people are always glued to their phones and are unable to talk with new people.
- Users of the app are advised to inform their date that the date is being monitored and projected over the internet.
