Interesting.

 

Dont know the details if/when operational.

 

Pros: sort of escort on-demand. Eliminates some client flakiness for scorts.

Cons: believe the client flakiness results from client uncertainty. They need the hesitancy. Not sure enough clients willing to dial-a-scort and commit to immediate decision.

 

Then again, today's society will do things on an app theyd never do without the app.

Not a lot of details, but an interesting concept. I wonder where this app will be available, what the privacy policy and terms of use would be, and whether the government could subpoena information collected by the company (although the article says all data is deleted after a meeting, this could still be a concern for some people). Would the app somehow be able to verify identity and deal with photo-accuracy? What would happen if a dispute arose? I love the idea of increasing safety for all sides, but it’s hard to do given people’s need for privacy and discretion.

The Uber model has largely flat when applied to non-commodity services. Here's one example.

I wonder what Lance thinks of this.

Great. Let's streamline it, put it on an app, and suck the fucking life out of it. Great.

This site is rather plain and I'm not sure how adding a credit card would go over. This has kind of already been done and it went over like a lead balloon in the states.

I don't think it will work. No matter how safe they may say it is, I don't think that most would feel comfortable registering their credit card info for such an app.

Can't wait for Miss Sally to look into the Magic Mirror and say, "I see William. And I see Tyger. And I see--OH MY GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

The kids in the studio are like, when "When is this proto-Facetime routine going to be over?"

I met one Tyger in Palm Springs, and I hesitate to comment as to what he might be doing. Suffice to say I had a kiss good-bye that I will remember, and that at a routine social event. I blanche to think what might have happened if we were not in full public view. But I speculate too much!!

I know what would have happened. Public view usually would not stop him, but he is respectful of the limits of others.

He's a lovely man. I didn't care what he did, a tongue down my throat, an agreement to meet off-site, whatever!

[mike carey]

@Tygerscent you play a role in meetings like Palm Springs, you do more than fit in, you contribute to the meetings and make them work out. I'll be delighted to chat next time, and more!

The "AirBnB" idea makes more sense than an escort app (really? like taxis) but even that arguably runs afoul of anti-solicitation laws.

Sounds intriguing - sadly something like this will never debut in the US which is trying to criminally prosecute third party connectors of clients to workers
