Hi all,
I'm from a Malaysian university, preparing for my thesis (initially) entitled 'Cyberfriendship: the patterns of virtual friendship on the internet'. Therefore, I'm looking for materials/ literature related to this topic/ theme.
Please let me know if you have the source of the available materials/ literature/ researches that have been conducted in this area.
Cheers !!!
