Welcome to the Friday, April 25, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the only place where you'll find the best business and money-related blog posts from the best of the past week's blog carnivals dedicated to, well, business and money-related issues!
We're very much falling in between the editions of a number of the blog carnivals we regularly track. The weekly Odysseus Medal has been delayed while we're going to miss the Carnival of HR, the Carnival of Taxes, the Carnival of Trust, to name just three, until their next biweekly or monthly editions. In the good news department, the relatively new Money Hacks Carnival looks promising. We'll see if its hosts can sustain a good quality blog carnival in the weeks ahead.
And that's it for us this week! The best posts of the week that was await below....
