     people are adapting their self-presentation strategies to utilize both online and offline communication in their interactions with strangers, co-workers, family, and friends. one way people communicate online is through the use of instant messaging, which includes the use of graphical representations of people called buddy icons. this project presents the results of a survey of the buddy icons 93 participants were currently using in their instant messaging interactions. it examines the extent to which self-presentation theory (goffman 1959) can explain the choices people are making about how to self-present elements of their identity online. the icons were categorized and users were asked why they choose them as well as when and whether they change them with different interaction partners. results show that male users select different categories of buddy icons than females but that most users select buddy icons that are human like, low on photorealism, and consistent with their biological sex. users also reported that they rarely change their icons and that they selected human buddy icons when they want to increase social presence.
