Telecommuning 

Once trend, now status quo of spending more virtual time with our fellow human beings than actual face-time.
The act of living through social media, online games, email and text-messages rather than picking up the phone (as initially intended) to CALL another person or as a means to truly "stay in touch" via conversation or to facilitate actual get-togethers or live social events.
A reliance on having numerous online "followers" that staves off loneliness the way a picnic ora good, old-fashioned softball game with friends, acquaintances and family members once did.
Like telecommuTing, a form of attendance and human interaction we can manage from "virtually" anywhere, diminishing the need for proximity with family, friends and coworkers.
"Thanks to telecommuting and telecommuning I never need to leave the house!"
"Ashley is super popular. She telecommunes with her 19,000 closest friends all the time!"

“I just stopped by your desk and didn’t see you there.” “Sorry sir. I just returned from telecommoding at accounting. I didn’t want to be seen removing the glaze from the toilets on our floor.”

telecommunicable

In a public setting, i.e. dinner or a waiting room, when one person gets on a cell phone, the other(s) at the table are compelled to be on their phones also. The faster the other cell phones come out is directly proportional to those individual's lack of self-esteem.
1. Joe and Jen are on a date, Jen gets a call. Within moments, like a telecommunicable disease, Joe whips out his phone and begins randomly texting his friends.

2. While waiting for the nurse to come in, fidgety Phil whips out his cell phone to call his buddy. In response, others in the waiting room start diddling with their phones.

telecommunicative mutual masturbation

We should get some telecommunicative mutual masturbation action going on; I'm so horny.

Telecommunigaming 

Playing table top role playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons, through telecommunication.
These games are traditionally played by players in the same room, but as our lives get more hectic, it becomes more difficult to enjoy these games in the traditional setting. So we turn to options like video conferencing, chat rooms, and voice chat servers to get together for a game. In the business world, this is called telecommunication, in the gaming world, this is NOW called telecommunigaming.
