It was with much interest I watched Scoble's video of a tour at PrintingForLess.com. I love getting a look into other people's businesses, and this was a great tour.

Printing For Less is located in Montana, 50 miles from Yellowstone Park, basically the middle of nowhere. They're the only Internet business in the area and have managed to attract top talent with liberal policies and incentives (such as child care, the ability to bring your dog to work, fantastic views, a beer garden and a large cafeteria). Their revenue is currently about $24 million per year with 30% annual growth. It looks like an amazing place to work.

The idea of building businesses in unexpected places is extremely appealing to me, as I can't stand the hustle and bustle of the cities or the crushing overpopulation of suburbia. The benefits of being out in the boondocks, as PrintingForLess's staff have discovered, are bargain-basement living expenses and traffic-free commutes. It's my dream to ultimately be in a similar position with my own business (whether that's ultimately FeedDigest or not).

I am not sure, however, whether this sort of boondock business works in the United Kingdom. I can't think of any good examples of it. Technically-minded Brits don't seem to like living in the countryside, and I can't think of any progressive businesses around here. There's plenty of back-patting going on down in London, of course, but it's time for a countryside renaissance.

Anyway, now I want to see Nick Gray and his guys do a full tour like this of Flight Display Systems. How about it, Nick?
