Hi Willi,

Read this RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5514
IPv6 over Social Networks.

The RFC talks about addressing etc. but doesn't really point out the benefits of having IPv6 for social networks. Interesting topic i would say.

RFC 5514 is an "April Fool's RFC" and meant to be funny.  Eric Vyncke took the joke one step further and developed a Facebook application to implement it, thereby being the first every April Fool's day RFC to have a practical implementation.

Now, if you mean "Does a Social Networking Platform have any benefits to use IPv6 as a transport," I would say the benefit is no lesser or greater than any large scale internet based platform.
