Netpal

Penpal for the digital age.
Two people have only met through online platforms such as discussion forums, online dating platforms, etc
But frequently chat and relate as long time friends.

A person with whom one becomes friendly by exchanging messages by instant message, email, or other digital mediums. Especially someone in a foreign country whom one has never met.

Person 1: I'm chatting with so-and-so and discussing subject A.
Person 2: Oh, who's "so-and-so"?
Person 1: That's my netpal, I met him/her online...
