Synopsis
Social Network Sites (SNS) have taken the world by storm. Facebook, the largest and most popular SNS, records 1.32 billion active daily users worldwide. The way in which people construct their identities online has been a topic of examination over the years. Generally, cultural societal norms have been observed as affecting the identity people construct on SNS. But what of the Greek online experience? This presentation examines the practices of Greeks and Australians of Greek Ancestry (Australian Greeks) on Facebook and reveals the way in which these communities perceive themselves online.
