Exactly! I have used beeminder and stickk. But there were a few things that bugged me about them.

1) Theres no option to have a referee that isn't friends or family

2) Its automated, and no human actually checks up to see if you are staying on track.

3) You can't really set huge stakes

Has stickk changed? When it was new you could set anyone to be your referee.

With stickk, isn't the human referee the one who checks up on your progress?
