Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to achieve an insight about what Internet culture is and how it is related to the term “participatory culture”. To find how Internet culture is formed by science and research cultures, of technological creation, virtual community and business culture, as well as to describe the relationships it could have with participatory culture in the Internet scope.
Internet has become an important part of our lives, it can no longer be spoken of the real and virtual world as opposites, what happens in one echoes in the other. The virtual world is also real and is a part of our daily lives. The increasing number of businesses that have adopted Internet as their main or only sales channel and commercialization shows how essential it is nowadays. The Internet has facilitated the export and import of mass culture resources what has enabled people, users of this medium, to appropriate the narratives or cultural resources to produce their own culture, that is built, consumed and shared, almost exclusively, in and for this medium.
