Friends is a drop-in workshop open to all visitors. The DIY process to join Friends takes 30-60 minutes for earch participant. The workshop results in a personal Friends stamp in a box and a Friends book for take away. Participants create their personal Friends stamp from their web profile picture by cutting a piece of foam mounted on a board. Each Friends user wears a badge button showing his/her profile picture. The badge helps to find each other in public space. Participants create their personal Friends book from two sorts of paper and and a card board cover. The blank pages are stamped with different template stamps. Each Friends user prints his/her basic profile data with Dymo tape in the first page of his/her book. Stamped Dymo tape letters are very usefull for fast copies with blue print paper (see below). From a selection of Web2.0 services Friends user pick the services they use, fill in their data and produce a series of Web2.0 stamps for later exchange. Two Friends user meet on the street and decide to ad each other to their books. They exchange their profile picture stamp and carbon copy the basic info (nick, name, website, blog, email ....) by joining the books and rubbing the blue print paper. The big book in the exhibition archives all Friends user, each on three pages: profile, services and friends. The profile page has a wall for handwritten messages and a small pocket for friend requests.

Das Projekt Friends ist ein Workshop, der das sogenannte Social Web, Onlinedienste wie Facebook, Myspace und co auf papierbasis in den physischen Raum überträgt. Alle Workshopteilnehmer legen im grossen Friends-Buch eine Profilseite an und basteln sich selbst das persönliche Friends-Heft um möglichst viele Freunde darinn zu sammeln. Mit dem eigenen handgemachtem Profilfotostempel und ein grossen Anzahl vorgefertigter Web 2.0 Dienstestempel tauschen die Nutzer untereinaner Informationen über ihre Lieblingsonlinedienste und Webaktivitäten aus. Um als Teilnehmer des Friendsworkshops wahrgenommen zu werden, können die Nutzer sich einen Button mit dem eigenen Profilfoto tragen oder über die Friends-Tattoos ihre Web 2.0 Vorlieben zur Schau stellen.
