italki is an interesting website in the language learning space - which seems to be very busy these days. They provide the ability to connect with other learners who are trying to learn a language. People find each other using the site and then connect via chat, IM, voice/Skype, etc.
There are other resources, but the use of a social network to find people who can help each other learn the language is a great idea.
Not sure if it can work in practice given the many other barriers that will come up.
I'd be curious what people think about this as a learning mechanism.
