In my attempt to remain impartial in my opening I think I've come across too skeptical of the existing MOOCs (and by extension other tools). I really appreciate what MOOCs have done for us, and become (so far). They're awesome - and I'll always be an advocate. It's the first evolution in something special. I'm just impatient and want to see something more profound come from it :P
Other then that, I think you're right. We do have a chance to create a bit of a space aimed at bringing people together (for whatever they want to pursue). And looking at keeping the barrier to entry low. Your views have been invaluable! Thanks.
