SketchFactor, the brainchild of co-founders Allison McGuire and Daniel Herrington, is a Manhattan-based navigation app that crowdsources user experiences along with publicly available data to rate the relative "sketchiness" of certain areas in major cities. The app will launch on the iTunes on Friday, capping off a big week for the startup, which was named as a finalist in the NYC BigApps competition.

Dude who wrote the article is a race-baiting idiot. A "sketchy" neighbourhood is not the same as a "black" neighbourhood.
 
Calling it right now...this app will be fucked with....think hacking it to do the opposite of what it claims to do.





It wasn't me.
 
"Sketchy" absolutely = black.





Closest I've gotten to a physical altercation in the last 5 years was with polish louts in greenpoint. Nobody would describe that neighborhood as "sketchy".

Too busy getting their space programs off the ground, I guess.





You fucking moron.





Why didn't your mom dump all of her substandard eggs before she dropped any frogs?
 
"We're going to need a bigger boat"





His handle is Battyboy... Troll poaster, do not take the bait.
 
I don't know, maybe he's got a point. After all, DC and NYC are known for their sketchy redneck trailer parks.
 
the app says it's using publicly available data


if that = crime data then pick on that





b / w





on their homepage it says that million hoodies partnered with them to monitor racial profiling
 
Somewhat off topic but speaking of sketchy neighborhoods did anyone see the HBO doc The Newburgh Sting? There's a 'hood the feds probably could have avoided spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and being none the wiser.

True... Can't forget those Mexican neighborhoods.
 
If your fuckin' scurred in these post Guliani/Bloomberg Disney Doorman Gentrification Laptop on the Subway NYC you go back to your small city/town.





Fuckin soft ass bitches. What the fuck? Go to Orlando or some shit.





Unless you in some way out Deep Brooklyn,Queens, Bronx hoods were NOBODY is walking around at night, I dont even know a whole entire "sketchy" Hood.





Are there sketchy blocks...most def. But "Avoid Spanish Harlem" is fucking stupid.





Whitey is somethin' else, man.

By the time I was down there nobody was getting harrassed or robbed or random gunplay on that block.





I really doubt they were terrorizing folks w/ the precinct right up the ave all these years.





They looked scary though at first site....cant front.
 
Doubt it will ever take off, but seems like a great way to sloooooow down gentrification...
