The study adopts the method of qualitative research, in otherwords,combining in-depth interviews with the text analysis, At the same time themain method is the in-depth interview method, and analysis of texts is the auxiliarymethod to add to the interviews. The author as a member of college students using themicro-blog, around the outline of interviews, can communicate with the survey’respondents in relaxed exchange environment to understand characteristics ofrespondents who present themselves in the Internet space.These characteristicsinclude a "the mask type" show, the strength of the frequent interaction withstrong-ties groups, quests for true regression of their own, and the interactive situation with the virtuality and reality interweaving.To carry out the comparison of the self presentation in the network space andsocial reality, the author establishes four analytic dimensions.They consist of themode of communication, the ability of coordinating social actions, interactivesituations with interactive subjects embodied and the interactive symbols withinteractive subjects adopting.
