I believe that Wikia can be a "social network" without being a "social network". Editors collaborate, assist other editors, build tools for other wikis, etc. It's all rather closely knit. In that sense, I don't think being a social network is a bad thing.

What I'm not fond is movement towards the kind of "social network" that sites like Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter serve as. But, at least for now, Wikia is definitely more of a hub for collaborative construction than something like that.
