Personal Double Locator

 A website to find lookalikes

Users upload pictures of themselves, which are cross referenced through the database with facial recognition software.

This could either be a standalone social networking website, or simply added functionality for already established sites.

       This might be bakeable as a Facebook app, since the critical mass of users is already there.   

       I'd say go for it!
