This paper investigates the social networking habits of students at L ingnan University and considers how these habits can be channelled for academic purposes by introducing an ePortfolio system into their language enhancement courses . The investigation analyzed the purpose and usage of these social profiles thus forming the basis of the need for academic profiles . After considering the attitudes and motivations of students, this paper reports on the adoption of an ePortfolio platform which best suits the academic needs of students by introducing it into two important language enhancement courses . The paper thus explores students ’ attitudes towards two forms of digital identities : social and academic . This process has led to arriving at an ePortfolio system that is in synch with the other digitized aspects of students ’ lives .  \nRé sumé : Le ré seautage social numé rique est l’une des facettes de la vie qui ne connaît ni les frontières nationales, ni les démarcations sociales; cette pratique est devenue un mode de vie .

Social digital networking is a facet of living that, like the Internet itself, recognizes no national or social boundaries . With over 100 social networking sites in existence and over a billion registered users on these sites, social networks today seem to have become a way of life . From this ever increasing number of networking sites and users  \nemerges a behaviour that has become a part of popular youth culture across continents and is increasingly popular amongst youth in Asia, especially Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, as in other countries around the world, individuals adopt social digital identities through social networks to communicate with friends, colleagues, families and indeed complete strangers . The recent surge in the popularity of web sites like Facebook and, in Hong Kong, Xanga, have taken digital networking to a level where, among the younger generation at least, this is fast becoming the norm rather than the exception.
