New Facebook App Finds Your Long-Lost Twin

Coke is to Coke Zero as you are to this friend, app promises

Share

(Newser) – A Facebook app that promises to match you with the person in its network who looks most like you "is fun enough that it just might work," Christina Warren writes for Mashable. The app scans photos of you and photos of others who’ve signed up, and…voila!  Matching will begin once the database, now at 22%, is large enough. The app is the brainchild of marketers for Coke, which advertises Coke Zero as “having Coke’s taste but with zero calories.”

Em, who has delusional fantasies? Could it be the person who thinks an article about a Coca-cola app on facebook is a good place to recruit folks to your ridiculous world-view? Yes, I think it could.
