Types of users

Some projects seem to have found it useful to categorise users into a set of types. A project at the BBC that I learned about on Thursday included these types of child user (of a virtual environment): explorer-investigators, self-stampers, social climbers, fighters, collector-consumers, life-system builders, nurturers.

We should consider whether a taxonomy of types of user (or alternatively modes of use) would be useful in your project.
