Imagine every positive or negative opinion about you open to the others. It’s what the service offers unvarnished, a social network whose beta version went live on Wednesday.
The unvarnished intends to become a professional social network, bringing together job evaluations from users, but to use Facebook as a database on profiles allows anyone to make assessments and be evaluated. According to the site Techcrunch, even before the launch on a trial basis had about a thousand people on the waiting list to receive evaluations and 400 thousand profiles in the database service.
The site allows, guests, friends of each user can evaluate it anonymously using a ranking and posting comments. Neither the prices nor the profiles – published in the Wall staff – may be erased.
To prevent the ratings end up sabotaging the profile, there is the ability to publish responses to comments and ask for new assessments. Attacks or phrases really bad – the false accusation of a crime, for example – can be removed.
In a video interview on the Internet, Peter Kazanjy, co-founder of the service, denied that the unvarnished facilitate defamation, claiming that people use the anonymity of the Internet to commit attacks are already doing this in posts or blog comments. But note the Techcrunch, the potential to destroy reputations remains. Even more when the social network is discovered by teenagers.
