The Power of Internet Intimacy

After a long hiatus, I am back to blogging.  The idea of writing something about the power of internet intimacy struck me a couple of days ago.  I am toying with the idea of putting something down for publication or maybe a book.  I am looking for something with a balanced view on internet intimacy.  Some think its a myth.  Others think that internet relationships are an escape from pursuing the messiness of genuine face-to-face intimacy with family, friends, and neighbors.  I've tasted the power of internet intimacy in the past few years.  Several of my closest friendships have developed through internet intimacy.  I've also experienced the negative side of internet friendships.  The topic is stirring within me.
