In many ways a close Internet friend can be more of a friend than someone you see two or three times a week. There are pro's and cons to Internet friendships on the upside one can develop quite an intimate bond with regard to the amount of time you spend talking to the other person. Also freed from the normal constraints of a "real" friendship Internet friendships can become quite intense, but ultimately you do need face to face contact as you can never truly know someone through the Internet. But I think it is possible to build up good friendships on the Web especially if the person lives on another continent. But ultimately they would have to meet for the Friendship to become truly "real" ...!!!
