dc.description	The paper opens the discussion on the contemporaneity of the Internet in human life. Today our lives online are not something separate from our lives offline: both are an inherent part of our existence. The Author analyzed the identity and presentation of self in cyberspace from Twitter to Second Life (SL) contexts in terms of: expressions given; embellishment as a minor form of persona adoption; dividing the self; conforming and ‘fitting in’; and masking, anonymity and pseudonimity.	pl_PL
