Use Case Moshe’s birthday is close and we need to buy him a present.

Use Case First problem: We don’t know what to buy. ◦ Moshe’s house is full of all kind of useless junk - presents. ◦ He is dreaming about one particular (and expensive) present but embarrassed to tell directly to his friends about it.

Use Case Second problem: We must decide what gift to buy, and who will participate in this. ◦ Difficult to meet together ◦ Phone is not suitable for long process of choosing a present. It's complicated for several people to communicate by phone. ◦ Friends that don’t know about each other can’t cooperate.
