Peeple and Phubbing
Hi – this is not an assigned response but I just learned about Peeple earlier today via an email from Diami. Included are two news links about this new app that allows users to rate other human beings.

Additionally, there is a study out that confirms what I thought was common sense but essentially that staring into your phone and ignoring your significant other is bad for your relationship (shocker!)

I’d also like to point out that the above study was conducted by a business school.
