#NerdsUnite: Live from NY its the application thats going to change relationships forever (Mirror.net)

Mar 6

It is with great joy, and great fear that I announce to all of you loverly people that Mirror.net is OFFICIALLY LIVE!!!!!

What is Mirror.net you may ask ... WELLLLLLL I go over it pretty in depth over yonder, but basically it is the world's first relationship review application. From friends, to people that you've dated, hooked up with - anyone can leave a review on you (and multiple ones at that).

Here look at this drawing ...

Facebook shows your highlight reel, and you with your best foot forward. There's nothing wrong with that - that's Facebook's deal ... but it fails to provide an accurate idea of who you ACTUALLY are; Mirror solves that problem. Mirror is a collection of reviews from various people in your life joined together to give you a more accurate understanding of who someone is.

People love love love to talk up a big game in social media (ESPECIALLY so called "social media experts"), but what Mirror does is provide you with a transparent look at the individual as told by their friends and previous lovers.

Does all of this sound super scary? And fucking insane? YEP! That's what is SO FREAKING COOL ABOUT IT!!!

I've spent the last two years (and really more than that if you count my time working for one of the founders of Myspace on his project LiveVideo) as a lifecaster, and have grown an INSANE amount through the documentation of my life. I look back now at some posts and friggen CRINGE because there it is in black and white what I said ... but it wasn't what I meant. Your frame of consciousness is super difficult to understand when you are in it. Everything in life is perception, and everything in life is TRULY reflective of US and what we THINK we are seeing, and what bits and pieces we take from each story to call it "the truth." By having a website, and by putting so much of my life out there - I get called out for it. I may think I'm saying something in a certain way, but you guys will tell me to either tone it down, or if I'm being too hard on myself, you all will tell me to ease up. I can't BEGIN to tell you how much of that has changed me for good, and clearly this is also why I am so passionate about this space.

Mirror is just this - but for everyone. You don't have to put "everything out there" like I do, but you will be able to appreciate the growth through transparency - WHICH IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!

If people start leaving reviews for you, and over and over they are saying "Sarah was really great but she does this thing, and it really turned me off ..." You'll get a better idea of maybe why you are still single, or maybe why some of your previous relationships haven't gone the way that you thought they would. Seeing this on the internet is definitely going to be a bit shocking at first, but understand this, 90% of all reviews on Mirror are either positive or constructive.

They have not only a review algorithm to spot the nasty mcnastersons that are jaded or just flat out douchey, and there are also peeps in the office double checking all reviews by hand - so no matter what you're covered. BUT even if something gets posted and you disagree with it, or it's a flat out lie, you can dispute the review and either have them remove it entirely, or comment back on it.

Alrite, so now that I've gone over more of that with you - I'd like to walk you all through how to read reviews on Mirror.

First though, lemme get a song going ..

<tangent> AHHH yes, Moby. Have I mentioned that I have a bald head fetish? I don't know what's wrong with me, but I would do really nasty, and naughty things to Pitbull. Maybe not Moby just because he's a little too skinny for my taste - but Pitbull and other bald headed wonders ... mmmm. I don't know where this love came from, but I'm going to go with it. If anyone knows Pit, btw and can hook a sistah up, lmk ... I'll make sure too I leave a sexAbility review of him on Mirror as well. HAHAHAA!! </tangent>

Anywho, so if you guys go to Mirror.net, this is the screen you are greeted with ...

To navigate use your keyboard and scroll either down, or to the left and right to refresh the carousel.

Pretty cool, eh?

These are all ACTUAL people that have ACTUALLY been reviewed btw. Mirror already has a database of thousands of people (freaking INSANE since they just launched) - so again, these are all actual people that have been reviewed by either lovers or friends.

You have three options when it comes to reading the reviews:

1) Anything with a green icon reading FREE, you can read without signing up.

So feel free right now to go and click on some. It's cool, I'll just totes sit here and twiddle my thumbs. Doop dee doo ... lah dee dah.

2) You can also select one with the red locked icon ...

But to read these reviews, you have to create an account (KEEP YOUR USERNAME ANONYMOUS BTW!!!!!! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT USE A USERNAME SOMEONE CAN IDENTIFY YOU WITH!! THAT DEFEATS THE FRIGGEN PURPOSE OF IT!!), and you have to write at least three reviews, and have them get approved. (Again, this site isn't about trashing people, but rather providing a transparent look at someone).

Once you've created your account, and written three reviews of someone (which I will go over the writing a review process in a separate post), the red lock is lifted and you can feel free to browse around at all of the awesomeness that is Mirror.

3) You can search for someone by name, location, email, and or phone number.

To search for someone on Mirror, you just have to go to the top of the page, and in the search box type in their info. (Again, either name, location, email, or phone number.) Here, let's type in my name ...

Well looky looky, there I be!

Mirror already has thousands of reviews, but if you have yet to be reviewed you can select the "NOTIFY ME OF REVIEWS" option to stay up to date on what people are saying about you.

FYI, when you click my picture it gives you a red icon, so again, to read my review you're still going to have to create an account and write three reviews ... but it's there.

There you go, nerds - that is the very basic intro to Mirror.net. I'll be updating you guys tomorrow on how you actually write reviews, and will be documenting my adventures using Mirror (like when I was in NY and actually went out on a date with a guy I found. HAHA!! Remember, Mirror isn't a dating service - but if I have an awesome review of someone, why not cyber stalk them and ask 'em out? IT TOTALLY WORKED!!!).

This site is going to be freaking huge, and it's crazy how responsible this is going to make us all as people. You can't hide being a douche anymore - someone, somewhere may just leave an honest review of you!! mwahahahahaha

Oh and if I haven't mentioned this, the founders and the entire team at Mirror are all really really really ridicously good looking. I mean, it's nuts actually ... I kinda don't know what to do with myself ... ::takes deep breath, but realizes I can't:: Hold on, I'm getting verklempt. Here talk amongst yourselves ...
