Sony's Home community manager (known on the official PS forums as TedTheDog) has put out a brief list of what's coming to Home in the next month or two, and it's looking good.
Straight into it then, in his words:
This week
Patch 1.11 This is a minor bug fix release and addresses a problem with Game Launching. If you opened the list of game sessions available at the same time one of the sessions launched it could cause a crash.
WATCHMEN Two complete outfits for male characters and black & white t-shirts for male and female characters are now available for free from the Threads store. Some of the items are not quite ready and will follow on as soon as they are.
Clothing Various items of free and purchasable clothing have been added
Whats coming soon
Street Fighter IV The unlockable items are already available in Home and are rewarded for winning online matches in the game. Purchasable outfits will be available within a few weeks.
Home Square A slightly updated Home Square will arrive in early March, possibly as early as the 5th.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Space This is currently being worked on and we hope to release this for you within a few weeks
SOCOM: CONFRONTATION Space This Space is also nearly ready but a specific date for its release is not yet available, but we are expecting it within a few weeks.
Siren: Blood Curse & Resident Evil 5, Warhawk Content for all of these have arrived here and are being prepared for SCEE's audience now. We will bring you more information on these as it becomes available.
Game Launching Many titles are preparing support for Game Launching but this often requires a patch to their title. It is not our intention to be announcing new releases and patches to other titles here in the Home community but hope to bring you news in the coming weeks.
Music within Home Playing your own music to others within Home is an extremely complex licensing issue that will take time to solve, if it is at all possible. In the meantime we are investigating various ways of allowing you to play your own music to yourself. We are also talking to other 3rd parties about making their music available to you in various ways.
I don't own a PS3, nor have I even seen one running. However I do think this qualifies me to make the statement that none of the above matters because home is rubbish.
There... Thought I'd join in on the nonsense for a change.

Yes it's just difficult to launch. You have to zoom look at the planes until it says Red bull air race and then press X. It's difficult because other people's names get in the way.
No obvious and not user friendly. There should be a registration desk which launches the game instead
Home died on its bottom for me the minute they decided to charge for 95% of the stuff you need to make the experience worthwhile, bollox to that. Even the scant free titbits they have recently put on there make it all seem a bit pointless. My apartment is practically bare, and i'm just not committed enough to want to buy stuff to put in there.
The loading killed it for me. It never really appealed anyway, but I gave it a go. Its too slow moving between areas and there was little to do. As for queuing to play stuff, what’s that about? What a stupid idea. If I wanted to queue for Bowling id go to the local Multiplex and even then I wouldn’t have to queue as long.
