E-quaintance 

Typically a 'friend' within a website or online setting exclusively; which ironically don't allow for the depth of interaction, rapport and social connection that friends of a conventional nature share.

My friend Laurie is the bomb, not my friend actually but, an equaintance who I think of as a friend.
