The final version of our paper on the interactions of avatars' visual aspect and social aggregation is now available and referenced (see earlier posts). The first published paper of a series on interactions between the avatars themselve and the structuring of virtual communities. Following very soon, the paper on the impact of trade role-play in the Second Life Gorean community (which has been accepted already a long time ago, but somehow the final publication seems to be longer than it should be ...). And following a bit later, something we just submitted on an extreme case of social aggregation of avatars with particular visual aspect.
