Real-time coding collabtoration tool

[foxgloves]

Background info:
I am conducting technical interviews for a database programmer intern. To test the candidates, I want to ask them both conceptual questions, as well as ask them to write code in the required languages to solve problems. I do not want to meet the candidates in person (yet), but want to conduct the whole interview process online (via Skype).

Core question:
Is there any site/web-app/cloud-app that simulates an IDE (or at least has syntax highlighting and shows line numbers) and has real-time collaboration? It is not required that the code is able to run in this cloud-app. I just want to be able to edit the code they write, and be able to see what they are writing as they write it.

Additional details:
I have tried Cloud9, and unless I am doing something wrong, the other collaborator has read-only access.
I have tried Amy Editor, and it does not allow creating temporary projects (as far as I am aware), and I was not able to import my temporary project in.

Google docs let multiple people edit a doc at the same time, but it doesn't have any IDE like assistance at all, that I know of.

Ya, I was looking for something that has syntax highlighting and line numbers, so the code is more readable.

Why not setup a VM with your IDE and let the interviewee (and yourself) share the screen using RDP?

Check out http://collabedit.com/, http://piratepad.net/, http://typewith.me/, and there's a ton more over here - http://etherpad.org/public-sites/. I've been asked to use a collabedit, piratepad and etherpad (now acquired by Google) for phone interviews, they all work well.

I checked out piratepad, but it doesn't have syntax highlighting. TypeWithMe is a bit too heavy (took a long time to load on my computer). I really liked collabedit.

I liked codibility. I think I won't use it this time, because it might take a bit of time to prepare, but I will for sure use it the next time I am looking for a programmer.

Here's one I remembered reading about a while ago:
