The Internet is indeed a central component of contemporary American life. Everyday its use becomes more integral to successful participation in modern culture. There is perhaps no better demonstration of this than the popular social networking website Facebook. Users are able to create and transmit meaningful virtual representations of the self and partake in a vast digital community. A community that facilitates communication, information sharing, and social planning. This process is subtly shifting the manner in which individuals both conceive the self and participate in community.

520 $a The Internet is indeed a central component of contemporary American life. Everyday its use becomes more integral to successful participation in modern culture. There is perhaps no better demonstration of this than the popular social networking website Facebook. Users are able to create and transmit meaningful virtual representations of the self and partake in a vast digital community. A community that facilitates communication, information sharing, and social planning. This process is subtly shifting the manner in which individuals both conceive the self and participate in community.
520 $a This thesis presents the results of a cross-sectional survey of highly dedicated Facebook users to determine individual reasonings and meanings behind ever increasing digital identity construction and online communal interaction. By engaging thick readings of the survey data the transition to online identity, communication, and community are examined in the manner in which they are imagined. Contextualizing the findings within traditional theoretical explications of identity and community this work illustrates that online identity and digital community utilize the tools of the Internet, consumer culture, visual spectacle, and semiotic digital vernaculars to create a virtual evolution of the self and community in order to effectively navigate an increasingly digitally reliant world.
