Social Web Matrix and User Stories

Hi All

I've attempted to create a matrix of user stories [1] against, to
start with, 5 of the biggest social networks.  I've filled them in to
the best of my knowledge.  A spreadsheet has been created in google
docs, and can be seen here:

It's been quite tricky to establish what to put in each of the cells
of the matrix, as it's not always 100% clear whether or not a use case
has been fulfilled, so I've applied Y=Yes, N=No, P=Partial, as an
initial entry.  As you may see, the matrix is about 80% filled with
N's.

I'm not sure how accurate my assessments have been, so would
appreciate other opinions.  And I'm happy to give edit permission, to
anyone that wants it.

Some of the use cases need a bit of cleaning up, and it was suggested
in the last telecon that perhaps people could "champion" a particular
use cases.  I think this would be a good idea, and I've attemped to
add a champion next to each use case, where there was some evidence in
the wiki.

Harry also suggested trying to come up broader categories of
functionality, for which an attempt has been made, and entered into
the wiki here [2].

I hope this is helpful and will enable the use cases to move forward,
so that we can compare what we have in the current landscape, as well
as to determine the direction in which we'd like to go.

Thanks
Melvin
