Last but not least: Meet my doppelganger

Three friends want to find their real-life look-alikes online. The social media project is already yielding amazing results.

Seven people in the world look like you. Or so they say. The problem is that the likelihood of running into at least one of them by chance is zero. At least it was before anyone with a good idea could suddenly attract the world's attention in the blink of an eye through social media.

In the "Twin Strangers" experiment, three young Irishmen, Harry, Niamh and Terrence, have set themselves the task of finding a new way to live together within 28 days with the help of Facebook to find the perfect doppelganger. The challenge started on March 30. Whoever mobilizes the best lookalike wins the challenge. The interesting experiment went - you guessed it - viral immediately.

While the two male competitors are still struggling to find really good doppelgangers, Niamh has already met one of her unknown twins after just two weeks. Although Niamh received submissions from all over the world, her best match lives just an hour away from her. The video of the meeting has already been viewed five and a half million times in just a few days. Incidentally, the film is called "Meeting my doppelganger" - just in case you weren't aware that the word is used 1:1 with an umlaut in English.

"Twin Strangers" will run for another week. The trio will keep you up to date with their search on their blog. If you look like one of the trio, please get in touch. The famous 15 minutes of fame would be guaranteed. (hae)
