Hello Sahat,
I did a similar study with virtual worlds using a faceted classification approach.
What are the facets that you are using? Are you using them to compare to other social platforms? Indeed, what I am trying to understand the diversity of these platforms (so as to understand why some of them work in some contexts and others in other contexts). Concerning Virtual Worlds, I came across recently an interesting paper: Virtual worlds - past, present, and future: New directions in social computing Paul R. Messinger, Eleni Stroulia, Kelly Lyons, Michael Bone, Run H.

Thierry: I did a similar study with virtual worlds using a faceted classification approach. Perhaps you could use the same method to do the same? I'm happy to share resources if you're interested.
