I've worked remotely twice.
The most important thing is communications, definitely.
The best results I had were on a fully remote team, using Slack heavily.
I'm currently on a half U.S. based / half remote team, and it's harder, as much of the stuff communicated on the U.S. side doesn't reach us. We do have weekly meetings over GoToMeeting.
Some very good articles on the subject are Scott Hanselman´s, and Jeff Atwood's and Stack Overflow:
