Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: From the moment they step foot on campus, college students start seeking an identity. While it is true that this search for self is nothing new, for today’s coeds, computerized communication has been a way of life as it had never been for their predecessors. For these young men and women, members of the Net-generation, their identities and relationships have been influenced by the Internet. This social networking function is made possible through the college student mainstay is Facebook. The present study explores how people—mostly college students—use Facebook. We ask questions about how users maintain their personal sites, what uses and gratifications they receive from Facebook, and how dependent they are on the site. The present study will also address what they value in their friendships as a way of understanding what motivates them to seek companionship from the Web.
