If you’re a stranger around these parts, the Carnival features the best writing about mobile from the past week and is considered a “must read” among all true Mobilists.

If you’re not from around these parts, the Carnival features the very best writing about mobile from the previous week at a different blogger’s website. It’s a great resource for finding out what’s on in mobile – all in one central place.

If you’re a blogger yourself, you should think about contributing, or hosting a Carnival – it does wonders for your traffic and page rank.

[For those that don't know, the idea is to collect the best writing and blogging about mobile from the previous week at a different blogger's website. All contributors promote the Carnival and send the host traffic. In turn the host sends traffic to the individual contributors. It works pretty well, though I do say it myself.]

In recent years, Judy Breck has been running the administration of the Carnival, or has been “Keeper of the Tents” as she likes to say and a jolly fine job she’s been doing. Sadly, she has had to give up due to some personal issues, leaving us without someone to pull things together.

This means the end of the road for the Carnival, unless we find someone to step into her shoes. It’s not particularly onerous (a few hours a week, at most) and involves appointing hosts and keeping the website updated. In return, it puts the Keeper right at the heart of writing about mobile and is great for networking.

If anyone would like to step up and run things, please let me know. Or perhaps you know someone who might want to contribute like this? I guess I’m the nearest thing to the “owner” so if someone wants to take it over and re-invent it in some way, be my guest.

If not, Roll Up, Roll Up and get your entries in for the very last Carnival of the Mobilists, which is taking place here at MobHappy early next week. More info www.mobili.st and you enter by sending a link to your nominated post to mobilists@gmail.com

Some great posts as usual, so head on over there to feast your eyes and delight your mobile soul.

This week, my post on Humanity 2.0 and The Singularity was selected. If you haven’t read it, it’s worth a read as I’ve had a lot of very positive feedback.

As usual, the best blog posts of the week about all things mobile.

if you’re interested in hosting a Carnival at your own blog and benefiting from the resulting boost in traffic, act now, as the rest of the slots this year are filling up fast. And if you’re a blogger, get those entries in for next week.

If you really don’t know what I’m writing about here, head off to www.mobili.st and find out more.

We started the Carnival here at MobHappy and I’m pleased to see it’s still trundling on, and these days includes many of the leading thinkers and writers in the mobile space. This week I got a double whammy, with my 1984 Updated being featured, as well as my post on Sprint which Judy Breck had re-blogged on SmartMobs.

If there’s one post you should make time and read every week without fail, it’s the Carnival, so head over there now.

Don’t forget to stop by and take a look at the cornucopia on offer.
