The second part of this week's Carnival of the Capitalists is now up, and that brings us to our views about how this week's edition was handled by host Russell Buckley of The Mobile Technology weblog (link available from here).
Russell Buckley's experiment, which if you read the comments from the first edition, has clearly failed. As of this writing, I have not been able to find any note of the second edition from the Carnival's major booster, Instapundit, whose weekly support is essential in driving readership to the Carnival. There's an old business lesson to be learned here - when your product marketing (and yes, the Carnival of the Capitalists is a product) is dependent upon a single or highly influential distributor (such as Instapundit), you need to get their buy-in to any product changes since their support is essential to making your product successful in the marketplace. Hopefully, Russell Buckley is learning this lesson this week.
Venting aside, here's the best of the second batch:
- Brian Gongol at Gongol.com looks at What's Wrong with Socialism - an absolute must-read.
- Adam Crouch at The Raw Prawn plays into this engineer's car technology-loving spirit with his look at the marketing being Toyota's Scion entry-level products.
- The Golden Gate looks at the housing market in San Francisco this week and finds excessive regulation combined with the desire to impose more restrictions on property owners in the sarcastically titled post Capitalism - It's Not Good for San Francisco.
And finally, don't miss Political Calculations(TM) contribution this week: PRAs and the Baby Boomers.
