Looks Great!
Simulation - SecondLife?
Online File Repository - would EndNote and RefWorks be considered as such?
Social Networking - Facebook could be used for education /professional settings. Also, SharePoint shares this definition, but not sure if it's considered a social network. I think Delicious is also considered a SN.
Virtual Worlds - also used for gaming, socializing, educational practices (simulations of live situations such as counseling). Useful link - http://www.scribd.com/doc/5570819/Introduction-to-virtual-worlds

Great job! On online file repository, I think number 6 should be Microsoft Groove instead of Microsoft Grove. Also, in addition to the ones you already have in that category:

- DropBox (getdropbox.com)
- Windows Office Live (officelive.com)
- Box (box.net)

Social Networking:
- MySpace (myspace.com)
- Plaxo (plaxo.com)

Hope that helps :)

Under social networking you may consider adding facebook as well. I like that you incorporated the Wii as a simulation tool. I might not have thought of that one.

The suggestions I didn't add was about Delicious being a SN, because it appeared to be more a social bookmark. SharePoint is more of a online file repository so I also left this off the SN list. Thank you all for your feedback and assistance. I am getting ready to add my list to the group table.
