Status updates are one of the most popular features of Facebook, but few local studies have explored the traits and motives that influence the topics that people choose to update about. As many Persib supporters, otoriously called bobotoh, socialize and spend a great deal of time in technology-mediated environments such as fan communities and social networking sites, they develop an online identity as bilingual and knowlegeable Facebook admins and readers. The article explores the notion of identity as a fluid construct that shifts over time with these bobotoh’s longterm participation in a Facebook fan page named Bobotoh ID. It demonstrates how Sundanese (local language for the people in West Java), bobotoh-ship (a distinct identity) –as points of affiliation– and technology converge to provide a context in which these bobotoh are able to develop a powerful local culture identity circulated through a technologically mediated milieu.AbstrakMeskipun pemutakhiran pampangan (status) adalah salah satu fitur terpopular facebook, kajian-kajian lokal yang mendalami sifat dan motif yang memengaruhi pilihan topik status masih belum banyak dilakukan. Dengan banyaknya jumlah pendukung Persib yang dikenal dengan nama bobotoh yang bermasyarakat dan menghabiskan banyak waktu mereka dalam jejaring teknologi, seperti komunitaskomunitas pendukung dan situs jejaring sosial, mereka mengembangkan identitas maya mereka sebagai admin atau pembaca yang berpengetahuan luas dan bilingual. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi makna identitas sebagai konstruksi cair yang bergeserbersama waktu seiring dengan partisipasi jangka panjang bobotoh dalam komunitas penggemar Persib di facebook bernama Bobotoh ID. Artikel ini juga menunjukkan bagaimana bahasa Sunda (sebagai bahasa daerah masyarakat Jawa Barat), kebobotohan (sebagai identitas yang berbeda)–yang berfungsi sebagai titik-titik afiliasi–dan teknologi bertemu dan memberikan konteks sehingga bobotoh mampu mengembangkan identitas budaya lokal yang kuat di lingkungan yang dimediasi teknologi.
The development of da'wah in the present, known as the digital era, has been increasingly advanced in the use of da'wah media. The millennial generation, as a generation that is responsive to technology, does not miss using internet media to convey da'wah messages with its journalistic da'wah. One of the selected media is social media, this is because social media users are increasing every year in Indonesia. In the use of social media and internet networks, communication that is built in da'wah journalism certainly follows the journalistic code of ethics and remains consistent in spreading the function of da'wah journalism as prophetic journalism.
