Your Definition
Someone you have never met IRL (in real life) but have corresponded with online and therefore have a "digital" relationship with. Often abbreviated simply as "DC". ETYMOLOGY: I've not been able to determine where or when this term was first used, but I was made aware of it from reading a blog entry at www.My-CreativeTeam.com Might have originally meant to describe those you've ONLY corresponded with via online text through SNS's (social networking sites), internet forums (discussion or message boards), E-mail, IM's (instant messaging), etc... but seems to have also grown to include those you correspond with via voice through VOIP lines (as in Skype or broadband phones), cell phones, or landline phones. . .
