[Air-L] Categorisation/taxonomy of online social systems?

[NABETH Thierry]

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.
Niu,

Kristen Smirnov, Stephen Perelgut

Decision Support Systems 47 (2009) 204-228

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.
