GetYou Uses Selfies to Combat Stereotyping, but Will it Backfire?

Asking users to upload selfies specifically for the purpose of being judged by others might lead to undesirable consequences.

Tel Aviv-based GetYou is a social feedback platform with a new approach to social input that lets users discover how they are perceived by others. The platform launched in beta Tuesday on both iOS and Android.

GetYou’s mobile game app uses semi-anonymous feedback mechanisms to determine gaps in first impressions. Users are presented with photos of other members and asked to answer questions pertaining to age, occupation, personality traits etc. Results are then analyzed and users discover how others perceive them.

In this game, appearances are everything.
