Welcome to the Monday, May 12, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the only place you'll find the best posts from the past week's best money or business-related blog carnivals, and in reality, this edition is the long delayed Friday, May 9, 2008 edition of OMM!
Long delayed, that is, due to our recent data difficulties! We built this week's edition entirely from scratch, as the tools we've developed behind the scenes to help construct each week's edition were out of action. Given what we know so far, we expect that this week's edition will also be a built from scratch affair, and hopefully, we'll have fully recovered our tools by the following week!
For you as a reader, that's neither here nor there, so let's get to the best posts we found in the world of business and money-related blog carnivals this week....
