Entrepreneurial Insights
A look at the innovative ways small businesses are adapting and growing in a changing economic climate
By Kristina Dell Oct 24, 2011
Technological advances make it increasingly easy to launch a company all by oneself. But for reasons that range from business strategy to lifestyle to temperament, solo entrepreneurs are increasingly determined to keep things that way.

Plus, being a solo practitioner is time consuming. “Sometimes months go by and all I did was work,” says Maciej Ceglowski, 36, founder of the website Pinboard, a paid social-bookmarking service that lets subscribers archive web links with annotations and share them with friends. (“If Instapaper is the beautiful reading room, I’m the dusty attic,” he says.)
You can save your pinboard notes and links either as public or private.
