Does Online Friendship Exist?

I've been using language exchange sites like this for about two and a half years, even though I rarely practice any foreign languages and end up meeting other latinos like me, especially other Colombians. I have been chatting with a girl from Barranquilla who is also an industrial engineer like me. We met when we were looking for our first job and have been chatting for about two years. We know each other well but we have never met face to face, even though we live in the same country. We have been using a chat language exchange site to talk, and since one month ago her account was deleted. So, I thought that our friendship was over since we had not used Skype to chat, but last week she logged in to that site with another account and told me that her previous account was deleted because she had an argument with an American guy. So, The moderators deleted her account. I told her that I felt strange because I felt as if I had lost a friend in my daily life. She told me that she had the same feeling.

Isn't it weird how the internet creates different types of friendships nowadays?

Very few mistakes. :)

Actually, I think it is not weird at all.  I was once asked by an Iranian woman if I thought there was any future, any real connection, in the contacts people make online. She seemed to think that it was not possible. Time will tell was all I could answer.. I don't chat with her anymore.. but I have made some extraordinary friendships online.
