Both the idea expressed in the original post and the one expressed here fascinate me. I know I work better when I have someone else involved, counting on me, or waiting on me. I do wonder if it would work via Skype as well as in person, though. (I know few people locally with similar interests and skills to my own) If it does work online, I wonder if a beeminder-esque matching service for the purpose might be doable.

Tangentially, the thought kind of reminds me of hackerspaces/makerspaces.

[Edit: One thing I do not do well with, though, is someone "looking over my shoulder." Working with someone works. Having someone waiting on my work works. (at least if it's out of genuine interest to see the results) Having someone watching me work just annoys the hell out of me.]
