FACEMASH

About Facemash

Facemash is a modern, ethical revival of the 2003 cultural moment - redesigned for today’s open web. It explores choice, perception, and virality through a clean, transparent interface.

What It Is

Facemash presents two public profiles side-by-side in a head-to-head format. Each click contributes to a live Elo ranking system, revealing community trends in real time.

Ethical Approach

We respect every individual’s visibility choice. All content is sourced ethically from publicly available information. If you’d like to be removed, simply press here to submit a quick removal request.

This project is independent and unaffiliated with any institution. It serves as a cultural experiment - a reflection on how online design shapes perception.

Our Purpose

Facemash today is more than a ranking system - it’s a way to network, meet people, and break the ice. The experience encourages discovery and helps participants increase visibility across campus, sparking conversation through interaction.

It’s both a tribute to early social experiments and a study in how technology, ethics, and culture can coexist with clarity.
