Empeopled is an online social platform connecting people through high-quality conversations about their shared interests. It serves as a merit-based filter for whom and what users want to know on the Internet. It is a uniquely transparent path to getting recognition and being heard. In order to dynamically maintain the quality of conversation, its community votes to decide its moderators, rules, and even its future features. Empeopled was launched in 2011 by [William Howe](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/william-howe) and [Aris George Michalopoulos](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/aris-george-michalopoulos). It is based in Chicago, I.L.
