Online collaboration

I know lots of folks come here and ask "what do you think of this song I wrote?" That's not quite what I had in mind. So to begin, this is for those who would consider working with someone online seriously.

I live in a small town in Texas, and as we all know, the talent pool out there is severely limited. I would like to work with some musicians and create some songs together. Obviously talent, styles and influences would have to be similar and so on.

I'd also like to encourage others to do the same.

Let me know what ya'll think about this as a viable practice.
