Find your match using face recognition and matching technology
Traditional online dating relies on demographics and geographical data about people in order to produce a match for your personality. This may change very soon with the introduction of image search combined with facial recognition. Basically, the software, developed by Eyealike, would let you upload a photo of someone you find attractive (actor/actress, rock star, friend's boyfriend/girlfriend 
). Based on that you'd be served with possible close matches according to personal preferences for face shape, skin color, and hair color from a database of singles from social networking and dating sites around the web.
Eyealike is now actively searching for dating sites that would like to implement this technology on their platform. Mark Brooks, Editor of Online Personals Watch, commented:
"Having a physical connection with someone is one of the most important components of a relationship, yet a huge percentage of first dates never turn into second dates due to a lack of mutual attraction… Some dating sites will reverse the process so singles can start with a pool of people they are attracted to and then drill down further with specific criteria. This will be a much more fun and efficient means of finding a true match."

Eyealike is not the only one working with this - back at the end of February, we covered Microsoft's patent for face recognition search which is closely related to the online dating industry.
