Jesse Stay
Just curious, if you had one city in the U.S to live, based on affordability and web 2.0 networking potential, where would you live?
Seattle. Can't beat combination of raw talent and cost of living - Ryan Petty
Well, I'm not in the Web 2.0 business (yet), but if I were, I'd love to live in Provo Utah. Lived there for 5 years and loved it. I'd also consider Seattle. It's close to my wife's family and I love the weather (seriously). - Walter Reade
I don't think there are many Web 2.0 businesses in Provo right now - any you can think of? - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Saratoga Springs, UT... Oh wait. - Jake Spurlock
Ryan, have to agree with you there - Seattle is becoming more and more appealing lately. - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Portland is also intriguing. - Jake Spurlock
Jake, hah! You wish! ;-) I love living out here, but networking sucks, as are the good business deals. - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Des Moines, Iowa - andy brudtkuhl
I am a homer, but I would recommend Philly. You are within good driving distance (< 3hrs) from NYC, Baltimore and DC. Boston is ~5.5 hrs away. - Rob Diana
I second Des Moines, IA. You wouldn't believe how many Iowans are on social networks like Twitter and FriendFeed - and it's cheap - Nathaniel Payne
try these folks - they're 30 minutes away from you http://www.spectrumdna.com/ - mike "glemak" dunn
Yep. Seattle's the place to be. - Akiva Moskovitz
Are you in Herriman, or is that Jason Alba? - Jake Spurlock
Portland, Oregon - Dave Martin
Jake, no, that's Jason - I'm in Taylorsville - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Dave, why do you say Portland? - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Mike, I've heard bad things about spectrum - that's one of my problems with Utah - every company seems to have a bad story attached to it, at least a lot of them - Jesse Stay from twhirl
@Jesse. Compared to Seattle. Better weather. More affordable. Two other reasons: Booming tech scene and incredible quality of life. http://www.igniteportland.com/ - Dave Martin
gotta tell ya jesse, the snowboarder in me says you are right where you should be ;) - mike "glemak" dunn
Why Atl? I think there's a lot of potential: http://bit.ly/uf6db. Dallas would be my second choice (both warmer than Toronto :P) - Shey, Jamaican of FF
yo, jesse. i'm a spectrum-ite. pretty sure you have skewed info on the company (maybe one persons pov?). we're all about the people, the product, and the networking (you should meet robin rankin! ;-) and helpin' UT fix some of what i believe you correctly observe is lacking wrt webX.0 biz networks in the state. love the opp to change your perception of the co. we're doing cool stuff, not all of which is visible yet. - Jim
Jim, glad to see you here - I'd love to meet you guys some time and see what you're doing. I was only speaking what I had heard but that by no means means it's true. - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Mike, that's why I'm here now - I see a ton of potential for Park City because of that. - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Omaha, NE - Jeff Slobotski
Dallas / Fort Worth - I am already here!! In Him, JMb <>< - James I Feel God Brown
