Summary: This paper develops an approach to the concept of “virtual community” from a theoretical dimension, in that it attempts to confront the elements and main questions of this notion in the context of relationships established among Colombians on Facebook, within the cities of Bahia Blanca, La Plata and Buenos Aires (Argentina). The goal is to understand the relationship between offline environments and the possibilities that these types of gatherings and social-virtual interactions can provide to its members. Using virtual ethnography as a method of participatory observation of inter-textuality allows for the identification, based on the perception of some of the participants in such groups, of the motivations for joining, the assumed sense of belonging to these groups and the influence of their offline lives, with respect to the possibilities that these groups have for the inclusion of its members.
