The culture bit is what I think makes remote teams more productive, more engaged and in the end happier, when nailed in the right way. This is why I am building a platform [1] to help alleviate the cultural challenges around remote teams.
Not being in the same place, at the same time, not having the kitchen conversation by the coffee machine is something that _can_ be worked around by using the right tools and implementing the right processes where those types of conversations can happen.

Putting the nuance back in to team communication. :) I love the format of the above tool, the only contention is that it should be extended to all communication, not just standups. You should be able to asynchronously discuss something with short videos. And record your desktop if necessary. And they should provide transcriptions to make the chats searchable.
