Small Business Trends

If you are looking to explore some new blogs and see what your fellow citizens are saying in the blogs about business and legal topics, then I’ve got two suggestions for you:

• Visit this week’s edition of Carnival of the Capitalists over at Casey Software, where KC did a fine job as host. Carnival of the Capitalists (more info here) is a weekly roundup of economics and business blog posts from a variety of different blogs. Don’t miss Kevin Brancato’s post at Always Low Prices about how a small community actually wanted a Wal-Mart to move in, belying the negative press Wal-Mart seems to be getting these days. (And, by the way, Always Low Prices is a superb source of information about the impact of Wal-Mart on small businesses and local communities.)
• And while you are at it, check out this week’s edition of the Blawg Review over at My Shingle. The Blawg Review is a weekly roundup of legal blog posts, and many of them touch upon business issues in some way. Be sure to check out host Carolyn Elefant’s post about the benefits of small law firms blogging, and also David Giacalone’s post about Canadian lawyers, who as it turns out are just as worried about competition as their American counterparts.
