August 21, 2006 | Filed Under links, How to create a successful blog | Leave a Comment

Lots of good links at the Carnival of the Capitalists as usual. I am honoured to have my post about beggars mentioned among so many quality posts. Besides the quality links in the carnival, the host of this week’s carnival contributes with an interesting post about urging advertisers to be a creative by listing the 5 forbidden words of advertising.

I will take a vacation now. Will be back posting in mid-September.

Giving to charity

Giving to charity is important for MyMoneyForest. I do not give money to charities myself. I do not think I would feel better (the main reason many people give I assume?). Also, I find most of the causes hopelessly naive. I agree, this is a bit sad, if you do not try, nothing is gonna change, right? I may be forced to buy organic coffee though. Lately it has been very hard to find normal coffee in many UK coffee bars.
