Abstract

Collective virtual places are growing very quick. These places have appeared as a result of the people living in the nets, who demand more easy and believable ways for interacting within these new sites. We think it is necessary to study which is the order that rules Virtual Societies, which emerge as a result of the arrival and interaction of the Virtual Inhabitants in a Virtual World. Our aim is to define these societies and how people living in the bosom of this ones can interact, express, etc., and at the same time how the society gets feedback from their inhabitants and evolves.
