Have you ever been told that you have a twin out there?  Not sure about your story but I grew up in South East Oklahoma which is no where near St. Louis and I constantly see peoples twins up here. Well now you can find your twin using a new Facebook app.

Coca-Cola’s Coke Zero has begun conducting a “worldwide social experiment” with the launch of a Facebook application called the Facial Profiler. This new app sets forth to answer the question, “Is it possible someone out there has your face?”

Using the Facial Profiler, you can either upload a picture of yourself from your computer or take a snapshot using your webcam. Then after aligning the picture to an outline and marking your eye placement with the built-in editor, the program goes to work. It compares your image to others submitted in the application’s database and uses similar software used by law-enforcement to quickly come up with a match. Then you have the option to contact your match on Facebook.

It gave me a 61% match on the photo I uploaded.  I wasn’t too impressed but at the same time it’s pretty new.  I’m sure that it will get better as more people start to use it. Some of the other posted face matches on the Facial Profiler were pretty impressive
