Days to go: 

Internet Friends Day is dedicated to honoring friendships formed through digital platforms. As a distinct product of our modern era, this day enables us to show appreciation for the companionship we receive through various online mediums; our friendships that have been nurtured, grown, and established on the world wide web.

Though there is no specific historical background tied to the emergence of Internet Friends Day, its inception is intricately linked to the advent of the internet. Online gaming networks, forums, chat rooms, and social media platforms, have all contributed to an online environment that encourages bonds to form between individuals who may never meet in person. This special day is a recognition of these powerful connections and the impact they have on our lives.

The primary aspects of Internet Friends Day are centered around the initiation of online friendships, their maintenance and their celebration. The day encourages people to reach out to their internet friends, affirming these important relationships through messages, tweets, or virtual gifts. While the celebration is often marked by personally interacting with online friends, it also serves as a reminder of the global reach the internet has in forming these unexpected friendships. Internet Friends Day is celebrated annually on February 13th, just prior to Valentine's Day.
