Daftar Isi:
  • This presentation analyses the identity construction within social networking sites which is (unlike previous forms of an online identity) closely related to our offline identity. Within social networking sites we generally present ourselves by indirect means, but what really attracts our attention to participate are the narrative features of sites. We overpass the fragmentarity of the information flow by cognitive mechanisms which we use in our everyday life. Presentation of our identity depends not only on ourselves but also on network of people that we are connected with. The size of network indicates who the target of our message is.
