Internet Business Blog Carnival – Issue 15

Monday, May 26th, 2008 at 12:18 pm

oibo dot org We are so behind it isn’t funny. We’ve been working on a better way to create these blog postings for each blog carnival, and yesterday we finally thought we had it right – and it (the PHP code) went and blew up on us. Not happy campers. So we had to work it out manually — it’s not a lot of work, but visiting each site takes time and then we tend to get sidetracked and start particpating in that blog.

Also our apologies — in advance — due to some screw ups with Blog Carnival system there are duplicate here… yah, some same stories from last week showed up again this week. But let me tell you, going through the articles this week – there are some real GEMS in here!

Soooo without any further delays, here is Issue 15 of the Internet Business Blog Carnival. As promised, next week the regular podcast feature will be back along with our Editors Picks.
