Welcome to the Friday, May 16, 2008 regularly scheduled edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the blogosphere's only weekly review of the best posts to be found from the best of the past week's business and somehow-money-related blog carnivals!
As we suspected we might in the last edition of OMM, we're still working around the loss of the tools that we use to make assembling each week's edition of OMM a breeze. With any luck, we'll be back up to full speed with next week's edition.
Meanwhile, this was a much better week than average for finding lots of high quality posts across the breadth of blog carnivals that we survey! The best posts of the week that was follow below....
