Persona
A persona (plural personae or personas), depending on the context, is the public image of one's personality, or the social role that one adopts, or a fictional character. The word derives from Latin, where it originally referred to a theatrical mask. On the social web, users develop virtual personas as online identities.

According to other sources, which also admit that the origin of the term is not completely cle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
