Frank of Strategic Digital Outreach points us to this quote:

For those who didn’t grow up with the Internet, it might seem strange to think of a mere website as an actual place. But for people like …. Michael Edwards, a high school senior from San Diego who can’t remember when there was no Internet, cyberspace is a real place, even if the entry gates come in the form of a PC. And at least these days, one’s MySpace page is not just a home in that place, it’s actually who they are online. “Your page is like your personality,” Edwards, 17, says.
