I found the interview with Alexis really interesting, because I had a similar experience with a different ending. Months before Lehigh, I had contacted a girl talking in a physics major thread on facebook, and we clicked really well. Where Alexis found her cyber friend to be in a bad relationship, I found mine to be in an amazing one. However, before I found that out I had considered the possibility of a real more than friendly relationship.
All this about relationships over cyberspace reminds me of an article where someone proposed to his girlfriend of over 2 years using Xbox Live and the create a map feature to spell out "Marry Me" with various weapons. Link: Halo 3 Marriage Proposal

Kevin, the Halo 3 example really demonstrates how powerful relationships can be online and how many different kinds of cyberenvironments can lead to romantic connections. Thanks for this.
