"Technitary"

It's a combination of Tech and dignitary.

I coined the phrase!

Asker's Rating:
• Good one, Paddymosse. You got me thinking...how about "celwebrities"??

Not bad. I just registered the domain too - if anyone is interested in putting up a site. (Maybe a wefollow.com but just for the true celwebrities?)

Send me a direct Mahalo message if you're interested.

I like "internet celebrities." It identifies the format and the role best.
Actually, I kinda preferred it when I was telling my friends, "No, really. It's two guys sitting on a couch drinking and talking." I'm not really into celebrity culture, but I acknowledge that these guys have worked their butts off to be where they are.

No, web celebrity or internet celebrity gets my vote too.

I agree that "internet celebrities" fits well as it is descriptive, but it doesn't tell the reader that they are in podcasting.

Leo himself calls himself a "host" on TWiT and "podcaster" is what I would call him otherwise.

"Jason Calacanis' friends". Also, Leo is and always has been a "Tech reporter" and I suppose "Talk show host"
