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.

Ecquaintance 

Ecquaintance is a new word to describe meeting someone new over email, text, or another form of contact within the digital sphere where a live initial connection is, or was not possible or yet established. A digital acquaintance. It could also be written as e-cquaintance. It substitutes words such as e-meet, in frases such as "e-meet you" because the parties have not actually met yet and it better describes the relationship between the two parties

"Nice to make your equaintance"

"I thoroughly enjoyed our ecquaintace"

"I'd like to set up an ecquaintance"

"I look forward to our ecquaintance"
