Scenarios

Posting

> Bob -> Good game though.

Reading

> Alice
I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)
> Bob
Good game though. (1 minute ago)
Damn! We lost! (2 minutes ago)

Following

Charlie can subscribe to Alice’s and Bob’s timelines, and view an aggregated list of all subscriptions:

> Charlie -> I’m in New York today! Anyone want to have a coffee?
> Charlie follows Alice
> Charlie wall
Charlie - I’m in New York today! Anyone want to have a coffee? (2 seconds ago)
Alice - I love the weather today (5 minutes ago)
> Charlie follows Bob
> Charlie wall
Charlie - I’m in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee? (15 seconds ago)
Bob - Good game though. (1 minute ago)

Usage

Users submit commands to the console application. All users use the same console. Users submits their messages and read messges from other users with the command syntax described below.

There are four commands. "posting", "reading", etc. are not part of the commands; commands always start with the user’s name.

• posting: [user name] -> [message]
• reading: [user name]
• following: [user name] follows [another user]
• wall: [user name] wall

There is no special user registration command - non existing users are created when they post their firs message.
