Do they keep giving you links only??? or they share with you their lives also? I have some good friends online..i had many kind of experiences and I found them as the friends of my real life...they are very nice to me..i share my joy and sadness with them...though sometimes i do invisible 
..not to be disturbed by anyone...do you do the same?? Have you trusted them in case of money? I needed help for various transfers many time and none of my online friend showed distrust....some unknown surely did....but i think the real friends that you get online are no less than real life friends...i am happy to be blessed with such friends....though i many time fight with them ..and talk again

I do have good friends online. Though they cannot compete with our offline friends (neither could I compete with their real friends either). But distance doesn't prove much with friends. We've been friends for like 10years now, a bunch of people in different countries but from the same race - All Filipinos. It's great really sharing lives and stories and just 'hanging out'.
There even came to a point when I 'meet' them more often (when we're all online), than I was able to meet my real buddies since we were all in our separate ways and separate priorities.

I think the main reason why there's no mix of Indians or other nationalities in my online friends because we tend to talk with our native tongue, perhaps it would be awkward to be with a group and not having to understand the language used. Further, I met them all in a Filipino site.
Thanks for the reply. I apologize for the late reply! Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I have good online friends too and although the relationship is different due to the anonymity of the Internet they are good friends none the less! If I have a problem I can send an email and there are those who will go out of their way to help me out. I do agree that online friends can not be the same as the ones in the ‘real ‘m world but it is not to say that a close relationship can’t be formed which will result in a ‘real’ friendship...

i agree with you that some people online are very nice and very helpful. but be careful though, there are hundreds of hackers and malicious online people out there pretending to be a friend but in fact,they are just stealing valuable information in your pc. just be careful and not be so trustful online unless you already saw them or knew them personally.

It is not bad to have friends in Internet. But the level of degree of friendship in reality is much higher than friends in internet. They can take care of us more than friends in Internet.

not much, there are one or twos only, the resaon is that i'm a bit afraid to make friends with someone whom i dont know at all.
I stay away from these and dont chat too.

Well I have both type of friends.
Some of them are just sharing their earning sites with me and some are my best friends. I don't usually trust online, but yes I have got few online friends with whom I share a very special relationship. Although I have not met them personally but still it doesn't matter and is not having any impact on our friendship. We share our thoughts , our likes and dislikes like close friends. Basically it depends how the other person is, and in online friendship it takes time to build the trust. But once it is built then nothing can harm your relationship and friendship.

i treat them as normal friends.actually i dont believe the real friends exist internet.we only make communication each other online and share someone's sadness and happyness,we can give comfort each other,although it seems true online.but i dont think that real friends could be appeared online.because many thieves use other's trust mind and cheat money,so it often happen internet.so i would be willing to life's friends in the real world

Hello,
I have a few friends from the internet I keep in touch with like penpals. There is interpals at com, there it tagged at com, some places that you make nice friends.
Facebook I find very confusing and hard to make friends. Myyearbook at com is another good place to make friends and many games and send stickers and flirts etc.. to people. Of course here at mylot there are many people I stay in touch with or answers questions for. I also get some links from people too it is part of the course... I think.
Thanks and Have a great day
Sincerely Unique16
