I prefer to work remote for ages, but I dislike the choices of tools. Publishing valuable business critical documentation into the cloud looks to me to like typical US stupidity, I prefer to host them myself.

I host my own teamspeak, my own upload file server, my own repository, my own wiki, my own ...

I do not need PRISM scans. We had two burglars in 2010 who did not steal anything, but tried to reboot systems to install malware. Just raise the bar for industry spionage, do not make it to easy for them.

In the list of tools Sqwiggle would be a no go for me. I would walk out of the virtual hiring chat, if someone tells me that he wants to watch me with a webcam, while i'm sitting here in underpants. Hey - go to chatroulet if you want that.
