What is peerVu?
peerVu is an online, social tool that enables users to get trusted answers from their custom networks of friends, families or peers to any of their questions. By segmenting your friends by into custom peerGroups, getting valuable advice in an organized, easy and informative manner has never been easier.
Why is peerVu different and how does peerVu help me make a decision?
Look, we’ve all done it. We’re all Mr. or Ms. Smartypants, working the Google on the internet box. Trying to find reviews or opinions on a product, service, restaurant, whatever. We get bombarded with information in an era where everyone has to have a snarky opinion to just sound cool. Sooner or later, all your research either contradicts itself, is made up of anonymous authors who are either completely different than you or are conveniently employed by the company that made the product or performs the service.
peerVu is different.
Now you can get the information that comes from the people you trust, that are uniquely qualified to help you. People that understand who you are, what your tastes are, and what you are really looking for. Armed with real world, objective advice, you are ready to go forth and make a confident decision faster.

How do I create a peerVu?
It’s simple.
How do I reply to a peerVu?
Easy. Click on the link in your email, which brings you to the peerVu. See what other people have said, and give your two cents in the way that only YOU are qualified to do. You can check back later to post more feedback or just see what other people are saying. If you like it, you can join whenever you want and start sending peerVues of your very own.
Do I need to sign up to use Peervu?
You can reply to as many peerVues as you want without signing up. But we encourage you to join, it’s easy and you can start sending your own peerVu in 5 minutes. Oh and we never spam you or send annoying messages that tell you that some guy you were in 6th grade with has his birthday is coming up.
Why should I tell my friends about peerVu?
Your friends are the ones that know most about your tastes, likes/dislikes. They will have the most relevant, customized advice for you. When your friends join the peerVu community, you can see what other special knowledge they possess and you can add them to different peerGroups as appropriate. As they sign up their friends, your network of trusted, verified peers will grow as well, which will provide you with resources that you can go to with tough questions.
