The status updates on Facebook need no good reason to go viral. Be it updating the bra colors to raise the breast cancer awareness (don’t ask me how!) or helping the victims of Haiti earthquake, or even the latest “my ex-girlfriend” worm, Facebookers always love a reason to play with their status updates.
The latest one making rounds is Facebook Doppelganger week! What is it about?
It’s Celebrity Doppelgänger week. During this week please change your profile picture to someone famous you have been told you look like and post this to your profile.

Find your Celebrity Look-alike on MyHeritage
Head over to MyHeritage and through their fancy-schmancy advanced face recognition technology, you can upload a picture of yourself and get a set of celebrities that you bear resemblance to.
A quick note to warn you – the results are sometime amazing to something outright ridiculous. Anyway it is meant to be for fun only! So, make sure you filter out the insulting matches and choose only the worthy/decent ones if you decide to pitch in for Facebook Doppeganger Week! As for me, it was a disaster, so I am out of Doppeganger week :|
