Web tool for sticking to your commitments

What is it?
StickK (http://www.stickk.com) is a web-based tool to help you achieve your goals.

How does it work?
1. Log a goal on the website (eg: work up to running 5km over a month)
2. Select your incentive (eg: money you will pay yourself and lose to a charity if you don't succeed)
3. Choose someone to act as a referree to measure your progress
4. Add supportive friends who you can post to about how you are going

Cost
Free (unless you choose a cash incentive to pay yourself)

Why do it?
The website reports that there is research showing that people are more likely to achieve their goals when there are incentives (rewards or losses) or accountability (someone checking in on you).
