How many times have you seen someone in a crowd who looks just like your friend/brother/girlfriend/old roomate/Bee-Gee/etc.? Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a website where you could upload a picture and then send it to that person for all to see?

Inspired by Sean’s post about my buddy Ben Ramsey, I think it would be fun to have a website for separated-at-birth twins.

To entice you, here’s a related celeb column, a Google Image search (Warning: I saw bewbs), and something from some random photo site.

Difficulty: easy
Time: one day, two if it’s really pretty
Extra Credit: rankings, accuracy points, send to a friend, favorites

Build Me It

A version of TiddlyWiki that uses Google Gears for data storage.

Why

TiddlyWiki IMO has been for the recent past the killer offline app. It’s a brower-based wiki that uses amazing Javascript skills to power itself completely client-side. The entire application is a single HTML file that you can save to your machine and access through a browser. The only drawback is that data is stored in the same file as the application, so as your wiki grows, so does your file. Google Gears could be used as the data persistence layer as a solution.

Hint

TiddlyWiki has a new and improved persistence and synchronization interface, so this should be easy. Right? Right??
