Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

Doppelgangers.

Posted by TomFulp - October 17th, 2007


There is a post with a link to a picture of a guy who looks kinda like me, although not really... He just has shaggy hair. Someone once sent me a newspaper clipping of a kid who REALLY looked like me, it was kinda freakish... I think I still have it somewhere but it would be packed away with college stuff. Like if I had actually met this guy and hung out with him, people might have thought we were twin brothers.


So I was thinking, it would be really cool to have a website for people to find their doppelgangers. Basically, everyone who signs up for the site can submit ONE picture, and it has to be very neutral, like a passport photo. The system them combs through all the other pictures and uses some visual algorithm to match you up with your doppelgangers on the site.


Additionally, you can fill out your general info - height, weight, hair, skin - and can search for people in your same range, to discover matches on your own. Users can submit doppelgangers to your page and vote on who is the closest. You can also befriend your doppelgangers and organize meetups.

Tom that may very well be the best idea ever! Btw that guy looks just like you!

2nd.

also, please leave a reply. :P

That's a pretty cool idea.

I actually saw this TV documentary where doppelgangers met up with eachother, and spent a day together.

It was really fun watching their expressions when they saw the other person for the first time.

It must be super awkward, though. D:

Actually, that is a pretty decent idea. They sort of have those for celebrities, but not quite.

But are you actually going to make a site about that, or are you just day dreaming while working on castle crashers?

Just tossing an idea out there... I get lots of website ideas but I usually don't share them because maybe some day I could make them into real sites... But probably not, because I never want to take the focus off NG and the whole flash console convergence dream crap.

For some reason this reminds me of that site that allows you to post your photo up and the program shows you the top matches of what celebrity you look like (male and female :S)

But lawl at your doppleganger XD

haha, tom look-a-likes...

That could be a very profitable website. Perhaps you may start something along the lines of that?

Also, how is it going with April?

If you don't respond to this, you are gay

Visual algorithm?
It may work better if users browse through the collection and pair them up manually. Using the general info could help out too.

Well what are you waiting for?! Make a new section to Newgrounds!!

Doppelganger Portal... :D

Sounds like a good place for pedo's to take 12 year old girls pictures and get them to belive they look alike, then arrange a meetup =P

good idea, you should do it, that way you can make a huge profit and take over the world

I know, its pretty weird you see someone that looks like you .. or me, or him, or us *brain explode*
Some old friends of mine say that they saw a look-a-like me, pretty weird though..

I'd send in pictures of hot porn stars to get hooked up.

lol

Man this will go as far as the newgrounds stoe, Look Tom I'm sorry man , but shit I've come to this site for quite a while and dont take this wrong ok? Man I respect you n shit and you get insanely good ideas like newgrouns is one of my favriot sites but you seem to have a lot of plans that never go furthen then an idea.

No disrespect but I dont see this going any where man I wish I did because it really is a good idea and maybe someone with the knowlege and time till do it I dont know man

OMG you did it again tom, your ideas are like pico and me, THE BEST DAMN THINGS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

POTATO!

I know there's a site that matches a picture of your face with pictures of celebrities. It probably could work the same but you'd need a bunches of people submitting pictures, to have any chance of someone remotely looking like you.

Make a witty,short,and pointless post,damnit!

Sounds like a great way for pedopholies to get me! :D
