friendSlicer enables you to become a central part of a music video starring you and your friends, simply by making some noises. Following some simple prompting, you will enter a few sounds in a videobooth. Your sounds are recorded, and your network of friends is searched to find others who have also entered their own sounds. Your samples together with theirs are cut together to form a unique music video performance, which you will be able to view seconds after you submit your own sounds.

Made by: Jeff Lieberman, Andras Sly Szalai & Eric Gunther. Read more about the friendSlicer at Hackercamp '09 here.
