The New York Times held a contest for new e-coinages for the web set. Reported on Word.com
Some are:

web yuppies
e-coli
cyboor
dot-compost
world wide weasels
Intergnats
dolt-coms
compucreeps
IPOafs and their stockholders the dot-commoners
snot-com
e-hole

e-jerk reaction is what you feel when you meet these people
