OKCupid has been helping people find their soulmates for eight years. Now, it wants to help people find the ideal roommate too.

Sam Yagan, co-founder and CEO of the popular online dating site, told Social Times that the company is working on a separate website that will allow people to look for housemates using a system that will mirror the one OKCupid uses to search for ideal romantic matches.

The algorithms that the site uses to find perfect couples can be easily tweaked and used to look for compatible roommates, Yagan said.

Watch the video above to learn more about this new website. Would you use an OKCupid-style website to look for roommates? Do you think it will work? Tell us in the comments.
