We're based in a very rural environment, with very limited opportunities to network. We have amazing mountains, stunning beaches, lots of sheep and hardly anyone who has the slightest idea what we're talking about when we discuss our project. Yes, it is possible to meet people and work online, using all kinds of great web tools, but in the end, I still think sitting in the same space as your colleagues is the best way to go. It's how we naturally communicate, and it's still yet to be bettered. Also, you'll find that if you get a project off the ground, and need to raise VC capital or other funds of any amount, if your address is Nowhere, Nowheresville, you really won't have much chance of anyone taking you seriously. My advice = move, build your project in the right environment, then head back to the hills to enjoy the scenery.
