We started looking at collective identity, personal identity and online identity. We express our identity mainly through clothing, culture and sterotypes.
Online identity is a social identity that and internet user establishes in online communities, people create these on social networking sites such as:-
facebook
myspace
youtube
blogging
dating sites
fansites
These sites allows people to be whoever they want to be. Having the control on how real you want to be and if you want to use psudonyms (fake names) birthdays etc.
Identities which are presented online shouldn't be relied on as people tend to lie and exaggrate. This has been studied by social psycologists and child protection such as Marcus, Machilek and Schutz.
