Rural Sourcing
by nate

Saw this c|net story on slashdot. It's about a woman from Arkansas that has started a company to outsource jobs to rural America. She claims to be competitive with Indian outsourcing shops. I probably could be convinced to move to rural America to avoid getting layed off.

Hey, I'm all set! I already live in rural America. In fact, my coworkers are convinced that I live in a little log cabin in the woods, shoot my dinner with a shotgun, and have territorial feuds with my neighbors. Forget the fact that I write software for a living.
