Do you think friendship through internet would be a success?

Wrong, sometimes you reveal more if you're in the physical presence of the other person. Sending a pic will be nice - helps the other friend to know what you look like. You can share your feelings by communication - emails, messenger, webcam. Short of being able to touch them, you can still see them. No reason why you can't bond. I have made friends that way too. Just make sure you're honest in your communication. One always get caught in a lie sooner or later.

Yep! That is it, keep in mind this is the world wide web (ya know the famous www. thing) When you are dealing with world wide you are going to get all kinds. You will meet up with people who are genuinely sincere and very kind and who want to be your friend and who truly care, you are going to meet up with stalkers and murderers and all sorts unfortunately we cannot stop it because our world is FULL OF THEM

It is a very real fact that men and women can be friends.  If the 2 people are satisfied with themselves (meaning that they don't have to continuously try to prove something or have hang-ups about if they are "cool" enough) they will be able to interact on a friendly basis.

better that then a "what if" the rest of your life........and if your friendship is good now and it doesn't work out, you might become better friends. think of the positive not the negative, what you dwell on, you will follow; what you follow, you will  dwell on

Alot of times people who seek out friends online are shy in real life or use the Internet as an avenue to meet people. You know used to bars, work, and church were the places to meet girls or guys, but with sexual harassment being an issue in the work place and church attendance down, the Internet is fast becoming a place where others can meet people. And like the previous person said, after they meet you online they usually want to meet in real life...because face it, online communications get a bit boring and lonely. In your case, I'd be upfront and tell them that you are only interested in online friendships not meeting in real life. If they can't handle it, then dump them before you start becoming good friends.

I'm afraid that, like many people, I have to say that the computer has, or rather the Internet.  A computer on its own was fascinating enough but it was just a tool. The internet has allowed me to meet people I have never seen, who, had I met them, I probably would have passed by with a nod and a smile. I have made so many good friends through Instant Messenger ... some of them I hope to meet, since I plan to visit the States later this year.\n\nYes, the Internet!

Haha! I think you meant "spread". How about making a website of things about love and care and friendship, and put it on search engines and send emails to friends to make known your website about love and peace?

The internet affords an arms-length way to communicate with another person.  Don't be in a hurry to press past the privacy it affords.  Making friends, however, can happen by email; having lovers, inevitably, does not.  Just recognize that the internet is redefining a lot of words, and among those is "friend."  I have a "friend" in Texas and one in San Franciso, neither of which I have ever met, or have any real prospects of meeting.  I thought I had one in India, too, but I haven't heard from him in a while.  If I defined "friend" as one who corresponds frequently, I'd have to count him out.  But I'll be glad to hear from him whenever he writes again, because that's the nature of this friendship.\n\nTake it easy, and enjoy!

No, I wouldn't let it come between us. Eventually, one person would relocate, but that's just logistics. Hummm...about meeting someone online? I guess it would depend where you met them. Typically people you run into in chat rooms or on free sites don't tend to be of the same quality (or want the same things out of a relationship) as people who use paying services.

i don't think it will ever work unless you meet and actually hit it off in real life. Some people are different when you talk to them on the net and when you talk to them in real life.

I think friendships and relationships have as much chance of surving if started online as any other!  They will only last though, if both parties are actually honest, and true to themselves!  If you are being a different person online to who you really are, then expect to be found out.  It's legitimate if kept online, it's just different when you meet in person.

It depends on the woman and man. Some people use "friendship" as a way of becoming close to someone who they secretly harbour feelings for. In a case like that, then chances are, there's going to be a lot of hurt, if the feelings are not reciprocated. But if we are talking about two people who have absolutely no romantic feelings towards each other, then yes, they can be friends, and be closer than even brothers-and-sisters.
