Social Networking - Language acquisition

Just discovered LiveMocha - a social network for learning languages. You can meet online and practice language with native speakers, enroll in courses (game like?), make friends, and other things that social network sites are good at. I like it - nice idea that has recently gone live and is still in beta.

It will be really interesting to see what happens with these tools in the next several years. I am also curious about how this effects formal structures of education. What do you think - is this a style that could work for you or learners that you interact with regularly?
