I'm of two minds about the whole "internet friends" thing. I think of the internet of a means of meeting people in the flesh. I can connect with people on line with the intent of meeting them in person at some point. To me there is nothing that compares to face to face interaction. You can see how the person reacts to you and what you are saying and body language, to me is such a key factor in communication.
Also, I think you have to really work at "realtime" friendships. If you feel like crap but someone needs you you have to go the extra distance to be there for them. Online you just log off if you don't feel like talking.
And finally, when was the last time an online friend took you to the emergency???? Or held your hand at your father's funeral????
