Billings? Really? It gets a bad wrap out here in Montana (unfairly, I will add). Missoula and Bozeman are the 'cool' cities. Billings is just a big oil town. They do have some nice bouldering though.
- fusiongyro 10y agoAs a New Mexican with family in Libby (near Kalispell), Missoula is the one of the three that interests me. But I'm not a big outdoors buff.
- thieving_magpie 10y agoThere is no better town in the US than Missoula, Montana. Bozeman's nice too, closer in proximity to Yellowstone. There's just something magical about a summer in Missoula.
- vram22 10y agoI had read about Greg Gianforte's startup RightNow Technologies (IIRC the name). Think he started it somewhere in Montana, maybe Billings or Bozeman. The interesting part of the story was that he did it the lean way - before creating any product, he asked some people whether they would buy what he was going to make. Some did, so he built it. Not sure but I think some time later he sold it for a good sum (maybe to Oracle?). First read about it on Sramana Mitra's blog, www.sramanamitra.com .
