Who Do You Look Like?
My sister sent me this great link to a website called MyHeritage which has a face recognition feature. You upload a photo of yourself and it will analyze it and show you a list of celebrities with similar facial features. It’s totally free and it’s NOT one of those pranks where it shows you a monkey face.
I uploaded a photo of me and my kids and it gave us each suggestions. The first suggestion I got was “Matt Damon” – not quite what I was expecting! I set the filter to show only female celebrities and discovered I apparently look like Martina McBride, Ashley Judd, Elle Macpherspon, Shania Twain and a few others. Ummm…..ok. Sure.
Anyway, it was fun. I discovered that different photos cause different results, though, so use this as entertainment only. Once you have results, you can show your friends via email. Here is my email invitation:

Hi,
I thought you’d like to take a look at MyHeritage.com.
It’s a new community site for keeping in touch with family and friends. It includes photo sharing with face recognition technology, family trees, a family event calendar, a genealogy search engine and dedicated genealogy software.
Right now it’s in Alpha stage and showcases a *cool* demo of face recognition. Upload a photo of yourself or family members and it will tell you in a few seconds which celebrity looks just like you!
To see the celebrity results I got on my photo, click here.
Take care,
Gretchen
