How exactly does this work? Are the videos being sent to (and maybe saved by) a central server? Are you collecting the phone numbers for later advertising (or other) use? There are potentially a lot of bad privacy implications with this program/service.

It seems interesting, but I'm wary of it for now.

Hi there, co-founder here. With Peeps, you can start a conversation with a group of contacts without needing to know if they are already signed up. The phone numbers are used to let people know via SMS that you have sent them a video message, and they can view it online to verify that it is, indeed, you. Videos are saved on the server for this purpose and so that recipients can view the message when they log in.
