User Story: Adding new features to Social Networks

Goal

Developers should be able to expose existing data in new and interesting ways. But at the same time, people should be made aware of how their data is being used, and updated when this changes.

Summary

Actors

• Alice
• Trent

Preconditions

• Alice is always on the move, and keeps her TwitSpace profile updated with her location so that her friends know where she is.
• She is happy for this information to be displayed on her public profile, because only her own friends ever bother looking at her profile.

Triggers

• Trent is a developer for TwitSpace Inc and writes a new feature for the website which plots all TwitSpace users on a map of the world, allowing the map to be zoomed in on any location and show the TwitSpace users (with links to their profiles) who are there.

Basic course of events

• The takedown issue is related, as Alice may want to remove her location data from TwitSpace.

Alternative paths (optional)

• The takedown issue is related, as Alice may want to remove her location data from TwitSpace.
