A new app called Peeple which allows users to rate people – essentially Yelp for human beings – is set to be released in November.

You add them to one of three categories: personal, professional or romantic, with positive reviews going up immediately and negative reviews going in a private inbox for 48 hours in case of dispute. If you’re not registered to the site then the negative reviews don’t show on your page.
