Those people are often on opposite sides of the globe.
Among my online friends are a few whom I've known for several years (one over 10 years) and I've never met them (and probably never will). One is in the UK and the other in Singapore.
They are as close to me as "real life" friends, if not closer.
Long before Web 2.0 took off there was Usenet, IRC and Mailing lists.
They are all still around and most of my friends online were found in those places.
