Business Pundit

Welcome to the Carnival of the Capitalists. This carnival is a weekly roundup of the best business posts from the blogosphere. We need more hosts, and you can sign-up by emailing Jay or visiting the CotC homepage. Why host? For starters, it's fun. Most people don't read every CotC entry every week, but if you host, you set aside the time to do it. Secondly, you get some good incoming links which raises your pagerank and will raise your posts in Google's search results. And finally, it's a chance to be generous and give something back to the blogosphere. So go sign up to host, especially if you are a new blogger.

If your post didn't make it… tough break. Some just don't fit the spirit of what we are looking for. Feel free to exclude mine when it is your turn to host. Or re-submit it again next week. Next week's host will be LinkedIntelligence, so be sure to stop by there next Monday. Now on with the carnival…
