A: 

You might be interested in reading specifically about how other social networking sites are reviewed.

Like when Facebook Redesigned: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/09/05/new-facebook-redesign-more-than-just-aesthetics/

Or a Twitter lead designer profile: http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/cliff-kuang/design-innovation/design-mind-behind-twitter-hes-21

How Ning works: http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/18321/

Definitely use as many social networking sites as possible to get inspired.
