General social network client

1. Conchita is an iOS developer. She creates a native iOS social client.
2. Denise downloads Conchita's application to her iPhone. She starts the program and shares her authentication credentials and the social API endpoints for her social network server.
3. Conchita's application determines the version of the social API that the server implements. The application only uses API calls that are defined in that version.
4. Denise can then do any of the tasks indicated by the above user stories that Conchita's software supports.

Developing a Smart client

1. Conchita is an iOS and Android developer. She creates a native social client iFoaf that allows people to explore friends of friends networks across the world.
2. She developed a version for blind people, one for people with sight problems, and one very elegant version.
3. The application only consumes data published by the server and interacts using the Social Web API. This is what allows her to refine the UI needs for the particular groups of disabilities in question.

Using a Smart Client

1. Jillian downloads iFoaf to her smart phone, starts the program, enters her identity, and authenticates herself to her home server. The client gets her profile data and initiates the application with data taken from her Social Web Server and her client
2. The Application asks Jillian if she wishes to add people found in the smart phone address book to one of her already published groups or a new one. Denise publishes them to a new group, to categorise later
3. As Jillian is an EFF advocate she travels a lot, and so do many of the people she is in contact with. So she often does not know what time it is for the person she wants to call. But she has convinced 50% of her friends to have their own home servers with Social Web compliant APIs.
4. Jillian uses iFoaf to call people.
   • If the person she wishes to call publishes her time zone info, Jillian can know if it is advisable to call them.
   • Jillian always gets the latest phone number people are using, and never has out of date phone numbers
5. As Jillian travels iFoaf can let her know what friends of hers happen to be in the same town. She can quickly message them to say hello.
6. Any messages Jillian sends travels over an encrypted channel directly to her friends computer, so Jillian knows that her messages are never read by anyone else than their intended recipients.
7. Jillian's server also allows traffic over Tor, to allow her to communicate with people in politically sensitive positions.

Dedicated hardware

1. Clarence creates a new bathroom scale.
2. Dianne buys one of Clarence's scales. She shares her authentication credentials and the social API endpoints for her social network server.

4. Zoe uses Noor's video-sharing service. She has a third-party client on her Android tablet. She also uses a friend-suggester Web application.

Integration : Adding recommendations to bespoke software

{simple facebook example - but I think it needs calling out as a 3rd party usable service}

1. James maintains an application for managing architectural designs
2. Maggie, a senior architect would like to recommend many of the better designs
3. James uses an existing liking service which allows him to post any recommendations, to provide this
4. This service also allows James to present existing likes for the design in question
5. Maggie gets to like specific designs, and her followers see these as do viewers of these designs
6. James achieves this with a simple inclusion on the associated web page, but could have chosen a more detailed integration if greater control was needed over the user interface

Integration : Adding comments to bespoke software

1. Maria, an IT Architect, has been tasked with encouraging better collaboration on the development of her companies Industrial Processes
2. As these processes are tightly controlled (though generally visible) an associated discussion and evangelisation capability is required
3. Maria integrates with an existing comment capability to store and retrieve comments rather than redeveloping
4. May-Ling sees the comment area with the Processes and suggests changes, as she herself does not have rights to update
5. The process owner gets a notification that someone has commented on this Process
6. Followers of both the Process owner and May-Ling will see this comment event
7. Maria achieves this with a simple inclusion on the associated web page, but could have chosen a more detailed integration if greater control was needed over the user interface

Integration : New social capability with zero cost

1. Hussam has developed a new lightweight dynamic content evaluation system that values content according to the the associated 'trending' of the keywords at various popular social sites at that point and time
2. He can do this for any content as long as it provides textual content for him to work with
3. Hussam registers his service with a Social Platform provider
4. David manages a simple presentation-document management system that already uses the Social Platform to provide liking and commenting
5. David selects to enable Hussams service for his system (using his application-admin capability on the Social Platform)
6. Davids users now see an additional capability in the presentation management system that allows them to evaluate presentations for 'trendiness'
7. Hussams evaluation system provides this using only the data that is made available to the Social Platform

Integration : Exposing Social data to an appropriate few

1. Mark has integrated Commenting, Liking and Badging capabilities to his Sales-Lead management system with minimal effort
2. Many of these Sales leads are confidential and Marks management system allows for the provision of appropriate access control
3. The communication of this access control to the Social Platform means these restrictions are recognised wherever this content is used

Integration : Bringing tools together

1. Lorenzo, Karen and Kazuko are working on a proposal for a revolutionary new silicon doping process.
2. They bring a number of tools (research lookup, discussion, diagrams, feeds) together in a single place, limiting access to only themselves for now
3. John and Siobhan have developed some of these tools which can work entirely independently, knowing only the 'place' (with appropriate name etc.) where their tool is being applied.

Note : This is very similar to the previous story, the main difference being the previous one is solely about the people, whereas this is about the named place. In practise they are likely to be combined.
