Welcome to the Friday, September 25, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways! Each week, we select the top posts we find in the best of the business and money-related blog carnivals, which we present here, in one place, to kick off your weekend reading!
But we're not the only game in town anymore! The Best of Money Carnival does something very similar: every two weeks, they ask a number of well-established bloggers who regularly post on money-related topics to submit their best post, from which the top ten are selected for inclusion in the biweekly edition of the "Best of Money" carnival.
That makes it more of a true blog carnival than OMM. By our definition, we're more of an ubercarnival, since we don't directly solicit bloggers for their contributions, instead reviewing all the posts that they've contributed to other blog carnivals.
So are we threatened by the competition? No way! As we see it, there's a very limited supply of top notch writing and commentary in the blogosphere (it's even more limited in legacy media), so calling more attention to the best stuff out there is only beneficial.
Now, onto the best posts we found in the week that was....
