Comments on: Where the Ladies At? There's an App for That http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2011/06/30/where-the-ladies-at-theres-an-app-for-that/ Sat, 11 May 2013 22:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Irritated http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2011/06/30/where-the-ladies-at-theres-an-app-for-that/#comment-25207 Irritated Fri, 22 Jul 2011 22:19:03 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/?p=18193#comment-25207 I cant stand this little application at all. People are not going to be checking their phones for where women are at. If you are a regular where you go out...you will go to the place that you know and have a great time at. Its going to ruin most bars. It is going to bring out all the losers to great bars where people just like to chill out and have a good time. It is such a worthless app. You know the app that chicago needs if people want to go out, bartab. So is this stupid app going to know if someone walks out the door to go smoke and they come back in about 20 times a night. Hey look its the same guy but lets count him 20 times. Yeah this app blows. You want to know specials at the bar? Uh your server or bartender will tell you them. I hope these cameras leave. If you want to have this camera in your place of business id really like to know how they dont store the video feed. I am sure that they do. When I go into somewhere where they have this irritating thing I am going to ask where my waiver is about the video feed not being stored. I cant stand this little application at all.

Am I supposed to fend for myself after that? Unless this app guides me through the entire courtship it's still in beta as far as I'm concerned.

Does it balance where it sends men? Presumably it knows the gender and perferences of its phone users. So it should not send all men-seeking-women to the same bar lest the balance swing flash-mob like to the boys. Can women who use this app know that 200 men are on their way to a nice quiet bar that happens to have 70% women (but 22 in total) in it? Hopefully it does not send a pile of men to a women's gay bar. It should alert bar owners that 200 men are on the way. Presumably the facial recognition can classify races, ages, heights etc. It should send me to the bar that has the most dwarf albino asian women. Does it notice when women leave?

what kind of oversight ensures you don’t store the video feed? also, the video has to be monitored in some fashion- otherwise, how could you extract data from it?

even better question- if you’re not monitoring the video feed, how do you ensure the results are accurate?

and why does it matter if the bar owners have access? they most likely have their own security camera system anyway- why do we care if the bar owners can see people in their own bar?

last question- since when do we live in a generation so pathetically isolated from one another that we need a damn app to tell us there are people at a bar? those people that had relationships before foursquare, smartphones, facebook- what ever did they do?!
