TEN SLEEP, Wyo. - The nearest Wal-Mart is two hours away, and only foul weather, a deer in the road or a Washakie County sheriff's deputy would slow down anyone with a mind to drive there faster.

Yet Ten Sleep, population 350, is just as connected as any place these days, and home to a new company that is outsourcing jobs not from the United States to the Far East, but in the opposite direction.

Eleutian Technology hires people in towns across northern Wyoming to teach English to Koreans of all ages using Skype, the free online calling and person-to-person video service. Two years old, Eleutian already is one of Wyoming's fastest-growing businesses.

Skype's quality doesn't seem to be as great as it used to be...but maybe that's just to do with my location at the moment. And who complain....it's free!....and I think it's better than yahoo messenger.

I was surprised when I mentioned skype to all of my students....and they didn't even know what it was! I use it to teach students from Thailand, South Korea and Japan.

All the best
