Review of Social Games definitions, part 2
Scrabulous feels like a social game to me, qualitatively different from multiplayer games on the web.

I think the difference is that social context has an impact on the game play and enjoyment.
Jeremy Liew's post supports the notion of social context factoring to the definition. Useful points in the comments section to the post as well.
