Most of us yearn for really intimate, healthy, in-person relationships. People have a deep desire to be understood, to be told that it's OK, that you're not isolated and broken, that this is part of the human challenge, and that there is hope. The capacity for online interactions to do that is powerful.

When you meet somebody and you have an instant connection - why is that? Maybe you've met before? Maybe you've met in another life? Anything's possible.

Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

I connect with people on a daily basis.

I think for marketplace businesses, and when you think about online dating, it's not a social network. It's not a place where you go to talk to people you already know; it's a place you go to interact with someone you've never met before.

The Internet really lets people connect that wouldn't have in the past, and lets conversations happen and connections happen.

Sometimes you meet people and you feel like you've known them for a long time.

Online is another way for all of us to reach people.

People reveal so much of their mental processes online, simply because the psychological effect of anonymity just means that a whole raft of inhibitions are left alone when people log on.

It makes you feel at home when you can talk to somebody and really talk about anything.
