本研究探究透過MSN和異性朋友互動時的人際交往方式與經驗。分別進行的三項探討問題為（1）進入MSN的初始道路（2）異性友誼關係在MSN互動所蘊含的情感（3）維繫與延續友誼的內涵。
本研究以台灣地區大學生與研究生為研究對象，尋訪適合本研究的受訪者14人，透過訪談方式，分析並詮釋訪談所得資料文本。並從中歸類成「春江水暖知友意」、「白雲彩霞感友誼」、「星輝交映蘊友義」等三個主題。
本研究發現如下：一、文字相逢展默契，熟悉情感解析好友真意。藉由著光纖纜線拉近彼此的距離，培養默契，真線情感拉近了知己間的距離。也藉著文字的述說，對彼此有更多的瞭解和認識，經由文字感受你的感受，對我們的友情有著深深的情意與濃濃的溫度。二、一線劃分入心底，無限感受累積真情實意。不同群組的分類，代表著不同情誼的深淺，兩人莫逆之交的情誼不是三言兩語下所建立的，好友彼此之間的相處是如此自在且自然，這種真線情的累積，就像不定時的存款般，一點一滴存入心底。三、線牽千里見知音，友誼長存永續真心友義。透過網路纖線，跨越空間距離與你互動，屬於你和我之間的真心情誼很難被取代，藉由MSN提供了我們這樣一個平台，讓彼此能寫下關心、丟出想念的文字，冀望著此段友誼，永續經營，綿綿長長。
