I think virtual friendships add positive value to life only if one is a rare type and has like-minded friends in the virtual world. Like an intellectual finding other intellectuals on the Internet. Otherwise it just widens one's friendship pool which negatively affects wellbeing by complicating the happiness equation partly through paradox of choice and partly through a-friend-to-all-is-a-friend-to-none effect.
