Besides, this study is aimed at describing the communication, consolidation, and confirmation of the netters.

In virtual ethnographic research, the interaction of virtual communities can actually be assessed based on its Computer-mediated Communication (CMC) practices. Therefore, observations are conducted by the researcher to explore the experience and self-reflection of both the researcher herself and informants. As a consequence, this study can be classified into a qualitative research involving a combination of ethnographic observation, interviews, and group discussions. Based on the analysis of the result of the collected data, it is known that there is a shuttle process of both online and offline internet use.
