I'm a consulting developer who's about to have an overflow of projects so I'm looking to put together a virtual team. I've managed a past client's virtual team (India) and it was workable. Couple of routes I can go with this: 1) Find independents who work from wherever as it appears you have done 2) Find a firm to help me pull together a team in one place as my previous client had done I'm curious if you looked into option 2? If you did, what challenges did you face? Why did you not choose it or move away from it? I'm also curious how you have found your team members? Thanks again for the article! -Scott Great article, Chris.

This takes the concept of telecommuting to the next level! Broadband costs are becoming increasingly cheaper, with a corresponding rise in the price of energy. Hence it makes sense to work remotely. Thanks for sharing your experience, it paves the way for others to emulate the same formula. Just followed a link to this article from Ades Blog.
