As defined, this should be a scenario instead of a use case. The use case for this should be "add, create or join an ad-hoc messaging group", agree?
I agree with Yudani, this description looks more like a scenario than a use case.
Pre-conditions:
Alice, Bob, and Charlie are students at Bersabon's world-leading technical University. They all attend the lecture "Anonymity on the web". Yet, they don't know each other.
Description:
During the lecture, Alice has a question because she didn't understand something. She uses her Hypertie messaging client to ask for an explanation. The Hypertie infrastructure automatically connects all users with a similar context (i.e. location, event, and else) in a discussion forum. The identities of the participating nodes are known to the system - yet the participants appear anonymous to each other. Charlie, a very shy person would normally be too afraid to admit that he didn't understand it either. Due to the anonymity of the discussion group, he admits that he didn't understand this either. Bob, who thinks he help to explain Alice's question writes an answer. The Professor can also see the discussion. As he is notified about the ongoing discussion, he explains the topic in more detail, so everybody can understand.
Initiate contact between users through a public discovery/directory server or via QR-codes or Bluetooth connection
Differentiation - market relevance
Group messaging exists for pre-registered online social networks or dating apps
