Do the respondents participate in each of the three waves?  Or are there
3 non-overlapping groups of respondents? or what?

The groups are overlappin, the same users participate in all three waves (N
= 391)

gender would usually be treated as a factor (independent variable)
rather than as a covariate.

I know, but would rather see if 5 different groups of social networking
sites user, sporadics, lurker, socializers, debaters and advanced differ in
their social capital., using age and gender as covariates

How do you measure age?
5 different categoriers from 15 to 75 years

What are your other independent? what are their levels of measurement?
The indpendent are the 5 clusters of users (found by cluster analysis)
sporadics, lurker, socializers, debaters and advanced

What is/are your dependent variable(s)?  How measured?
I am using different measures on social captial. 4 and 5-point Likert scales
are used. The different items in each measure are added togheter.

How  many respondents do you have?
N=391, all particpate in all 3 time waves.
