New Wikipedia style twinning website launched

September 20th, 2008 AElliott No comments

TellMeTwin is celebrating its launch today. The innovative new website uses self psychoanalysis and personality tests to connect users to ‘personality twins’.

From today, it is now possible to register for TellMeTwin, the website aiming to identify and connect users with their ‘twins’. Twins are people with similar interests and personality types who can be relied upon to give advice and recommendations that are actually useful.

TellMeTwin takes the results from its unique selection of personality tests, self psychoanalysis and other user-generated material, and then applies its sophisticated mathematic systems to match users with unprecedented accuracy.

From useful recommendations on food, movies and collectibles and help with major life decisions and even mundane day-to-day ones – it is hoped TellMeTwin users will make real lifelong friends.

The website also offers users the opportunity to identify and interact with their best romantic matches and their ‘evil twins’. Evil twins are in no way bad people, but rather a user’s least similar matches – polar opposite tastes, beliefs and opinions. It could provide the perfect opportunity to find out if opposites really do attract.

Icelandic entrepreneur, Einar Sigvaldason came up with the TellMeTwin idea in 2001 while studying at Berkeley University. “I founded TellMeTwin because I wanted movie and song recommendations from someone who I can trust to think like me”, said Sigvaldason. “I’ve also always loved self-psychoanalysis. I felt there was a need for an online application; not just personality tests but also a way to rate my likes, dislikes and life experience in order to map myself more deeply than before.

The TellMeTwin tagline, “digging deeper” is a reference to users’ ability to find out more about themselves and others – and then actually use the information for something.

It is now possible to sign up for the website quickly and easily at www.TellMeTwin.com

Tell Me Twin – the new social networking site

Tell Me TwinAn innovative website which finds people’s ‘twins’ from all over the world is scheduled for launch this summer.

Tell Me Twin is a groundbreaking new website which enables users to find other people who think just like them and use their profile to help make daily life choices.

The Wikipedia inspired site uses a sophisticated range of personality tests and online self psychoanalysis (the rating of likes and dislikes), and then compares results using an advanced set of mathematical formulae to reveal other users with the closest personalities.

Users will also be able to identify and interact with their ‘evil twins’ (those with opposite tastes and personality), and even find best romantic matches.

Tell Me Twin aims to be one of the Internet’s most dynamic tools for collecting and analysing huge amounts of user generated data – and then using sophisticated analysis to match like-minded individuals.

Users will quickly be able to build up a bank of twins with whom to share stories, interests and recommendations in complete safety. The website will not distribute users’ private data and the user will remain in charge of their own identity, with the ability to delete whatever they want.

Tell Me Twin’s slogan is “Digging Deeper”, a reference to its unrivalled ability to compare and match people’s tastes and personalities, ultimately opening up a whole new world of film, art, books and collectibles that the user may never have known about before.

Tell Me Twin is currently in Beta Testing and is inviting potential members to sign up now and help fine tune the website to their personal taste.

New Wikipedia style site promises to ‘dig deeper’

logo_dark_inclslogan.jpgA groundbreaking new website that combines psychoanalysis with personalised data filtering will be launched this summer.

TellMeTwin is the name of a new site designed to extract useful and personalised information from vast, disparate pools of Internet data.

Based on user-generated content (similar to Wikipedia), TellMeTwin mathematically matches the user to ‘twins’ who have similar interests.

‘Twins’ can provide useful recommendations on everything from entertainment choices – movies, music, vacation destinations – to product, health and lifestyle suggestions. ‘Twins’ can connect, for friendship or more, two people with mutual interests. On the other end of the spectrum, people can find their ‘evil twins’ – people with polar opposite characteristics and preferences.

The website is the dreamchild of Icelandic entrepreneur, Einar Sigvaldason, who thought up the concept whilst getting his MBA at Berkeley in 2001. “I founded TellMeTwin because I wanted movie and song recommendations from someone who I can trust to think like me”, said Sigvaldason. “I’ve also always loved self psychoanalysis. I felt there was a need for an online application; not just personality tests but also a way to rate my likes, dislikes and life experience in order to map myself more deeply than before.”
