Why not set up regular conference calls so those of us not near a startup hub can participate?

If you can't meet up try twitter or tumblr. Every day post what you've achieved that day and what you're going to do tomorrow. If you keep it up for a week you'll feel very guilty if you stop. I've got a moleskin notebook that I use for this purpose and it works great.

I'll give that a try. Something more interactive would be nice though if only to generate conversation and set a hard deadline.
