摘要：This study is based on human to human interactions with the internet as the medium rather than human interaction with the internet itself. It examines how distributed individuals interact together using features of online social networking tools to project their identity and communicate their social selves visually on the online space. Using a comprehensive literature review and an online ethnography study on the popular social networking site, Facebook, the authors draw relevance from the emerging themes derived from photo elicitation interviews and relate them to the identity construction of the Facebook user. Through the lens of Goffman's presentation of self in everyday life, this study seeks to prove that social media like Facebook acts a catalyst of postmodernism and serves to change and revolutionize social identity of the individual and the society.
