Scenario
Rob is a senior in college, and he’s out of class for the day looking for something fun to do. Sure, he has homework, but that comes later; for now he just wants to hang out and do something fun. Instead of texting all his friends and getting a jumble of messages back, he pulls up EventHub, where he can quickly see what’s going around him.
Before logging in, he’s presented with the browsing view of activities happening nearby. He immediately logs in and is returned to the original page. He tweaks the preferences in the sidebar: he only wants events happening in the next three hours within 1 mile, posted by his friends. The page redraws. An event for a chess game catches his eye: his friend Adam wants to play a game in 2.5 hours. Rob is in. He clicks the event and the details open in the page. Adam only wants to play with one person, and Rob is the first to see the event. Rob RSVPs on the page and the event is removed from everyone else’s listings.
Rob still has 2.5 hours to kill and feels like playing basketball so he creates an event of his own. He clicks the “create event” link at the top of the page. He enters all the revelant details (title; location; time; public, semi-private, or private) and tags it so people can find it: basketball, sports, pickup game. His event will now show up for anyone nearby; in the meantime, he heads home to change.
When Rob gets home, he decides to make himself a snack to fuel up for the basketball game, but this means pushing the game back half an hour. No worries, he just logs back on EventHub, navigates to the page of his events, and edits the event he just created, moving the time back half an hour. He saves the event changes and makes himself a peanut butter, nutella, and banana sandwich.
After his snack, Rob checks EventHub before heading out. His friends Jake and Amy have RSVPed to his event, so he knows he’ll definitely have people to play with. When he shows up to Dupont, two other guys he doesn’t know are there too. New pickup buddies, nice.
