Weekly Roundup: Trick or Treat
Today’s Hallowe’en.
Ghouls and ghosties and Lady Gagas and I’m sure several Sarah Palins will abound as they go door-to-door, foraging for sugar, wondering if they’ll get scared out of their lives.
Given as how I’m nursing a cold (or bronchitis, or pneumonia, please NOT pneumonia), I might doff the witch’s garb this year and opt for peace and quiet.
Especially since my hounds don’t realize that those little ghoulies are just kids and set up a caterwauling wild enough to make a banshee cry.
But in the spirit of the day, here are seven posts for your Hallowe’en hilarity.
1. Trick or Tweet? Some Halloween social media fun for a good cause, from Beth Kanter.

It really does take a village
This past Tuesday saw the culmination of IABC/DC Metro’s 2010 Silver Inkwell awards.
And by that I mean the result of the blood, sweat and tears of the 130+ entrants, the two co-VPs of the program, our chapter administrators, my entire board… and me.
Boy, am I glad it’s over!
Not because it was something I was dreading
but because it took a LOT of work to coordinate and pull off.

Hype-a-million
The Social Network, the much-hyped film about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook, debuted last month on October 1; it grossed more than USD 22 million during its opening weekend.
I still haven’t watched it, and I don’t think I plan on doing so, either.
However, some reporters and bloggers have used the film’s release as an opportunity to comment on Facebook as it is today.
While Shonali mentioned in an earlier post that some people don’t care about social media, there are others who care about social media, but vehemently think it’s EVIL.
