I'm in Melbourne, Australia, but my main developer is in California. We communicate with Skype.
I think user-oriented sites need good communication between designers and coders, so having a native English speaker was a top priority. Additionally I've generally been impressed with US coders. I also needed someone with a good knowledge of multiple programming languages (rather than a 'solve everything with Perl' guy), and AJAX experience which is surprisingly lacking elsewhere (check out the development history of all those Indian and Hungarian companies on eLance - they might be a fifth the price, but they're generally pretty terrible).
Somewhere after public beta I'll head to SF again for a few months, maybe permanently. When I do, my dev team team will already be there.

Why Eugene? Is is easy to register a company long-distance in Oregon? (I have relatives there and I'm out of the country, so I'm thinking about that angle for a contact address myself :))

My parents live in Eugene, and I visit from time to time. This summer I set up the bank account, which had to be done in person, but otherwise, I was able to create the LLC itself remotely.

Noosphere Networks - we're early still. PVD has a small, but burgeoning startup scene. www.providencegeeks.com
Between having Brown U., RISD, and being in between BOS and NYC we have a lot of good ingredients.

Thanks - I'm pretty hooked in as I'm active in trying to grow the local scene, but am always interested to learn about other new startups around here.
BTW, how do you ping someone on this system? Thanks.

Palish, I'll be in STL 9/13 - 9/19 for business meet ups. If you have availability I'd love to buy you a drink and hear about what you have going there. Curious as to how the startup scene in STL is evolving.. -frank{&at&}actercompany.com.
