  Internet friendship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet friendships are friendships between people who have met online, and in some cases know each other only via the Internet.
In addition, many proponents of online friendships point out that those who say that the lack of face-to-face contact cheapens internet friendships could be considered shallow to want to see who they are talking to, thus implying that how their friends look could change how they think of them.
Since the development of high-speed, broadband internet, the face of internet friendships has changed utterly.

 The Strange Case of toronto.com vs. Toronto2.com - 1999-2001 - Toronto's Internet Community Centre - Toronto2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Friendship Enterprises allege that it is improper for the plaintiffs to have purchased another version of the truly trademarkable "Toronto2" name, in light of sworn testimony by both parties, as to Friendship Enterprises proper rights with regard to the Toronto2 mark.
Friendship Enterprises contend that the rightful owner of the "Toronto" trademark is, in fact, the Corporation of the City of Toronto, or, in the alternative, the Province of Ontario, representing the citizenry, and not the partnership of private corporations calling itself, toronto.com.
Friendship Enterprises contend that Deeth Williams Wall have acted improperly, have breached proper legal protocol with improper intent, have conspired with their clients to mis-lead Friendship Enterprises and suppress relevant case related information, and have displayed a disrespect for the Federal Court that merits further investigation by the proper authorities.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Lysis, or Friendship by Plato
And so, Lysis and Menexenus, we have discovered the nature of friendship-there can be no doubt of it: Friendship is the love which by reason of the presence of evil the neither good nor evil has of the good, either in the soul, or in the body, or anywhere.
Then the final principle of friendship, in which all other friendships terminated, those, I mean, which are relatively dear and for the sake of something else, is of another and a different nature from them.
But not if evil is the cause of friendship: for in that case nothing will be the friend of any other thing after the destruction of evil; for the effect cannot remain when the cause is destroyed.
