Jamie Wells over at Mobilestance.com has the honor of hosting a truly milestone Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) this week. The roundup of the very best in mobile blogging counts 200 (!) posts since it was founded in 2005 by expert mobile-watchers including Russell Buckley and Carlo Longino over at MobHappy. (Long before Russell took the helm as VP Global Alliances at AdMob and Carlo launched his successful career as an independent consultant/analyst and, more recently, MSG contributor.)

I am elated that my in-depth analysis of the AdMob acquisition by Google has been chosen as the pick of the week. As Jamie put it: “Of the three [posts about the acquisition], Peggy really nails it with a thorough analysis and first rate news gathering.” Great to know that my  take on the acquisition and the potential impact on our mobile advertising and mobile search is so well-received. Check it out and join the conversation at COM #200.

Of course, AdMob isn’t the only news and I encourage you to explore an eclectic mix of posts featured in this week’s line-up.

These include Tomi Ahonen’s post on the digital divide and a fact-packed examination of mobile banking from first-time COM contributor David Eads.  His post recounts a webcast with Doug Brown of Bank of America sponsored by InformationWeek and VeriSign.

As “Keeper Of Tents” at COM, allow me to formally welcome David and encourage ALL of you to join the conversation over at Mobilestance – and get involved in the next COM.

Enjoy!
