Wow! NPR and the New York Times in one week all touting home-based companies. Only they are missing that this is so much bigger. It's the rise of the virtual economy with many variations, from small entrepreneurs with big dreams renting space to major corporations like Arch Chemical allowing sales/marketing and others to work from home and hardly ever see an office interior. That's far different from teleworking where you check in pretty regularly and may even have a home office. Lots of information on this trend is posted at www.hidden-tech.net where we have conducted original research for over five years. But, hey, at least we aren't fighting for legitimacy. Data or no, the world is catching on. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech Founder
