Definition

Phenomenology is a term used to describe one's experience in a given culture, society or situation.

Phenomenology of Online Space and Experience

The phenomenology of online spaces is different for every user, and is dependent upon what sites the user is a part of. For instance, the phenomenology of Facebook causes users to act based on images, events, and personal stories shared through short updates. Twitter has short messages that also contain personal content, but also knowledge and resource sharing.
