In honor of All Saints Day Eve, when we in the US like to gratuitously scare ourselves, this week's Carnival features some scary topics:
- From The Nonprofit Consultant Blog, A Scary Nonprofit Halloween Story about the evil power of bureaucracy.
- From Katya's Nonprofit Marketing Blog, Boo! This is scary -- when we forget to be marketers.
- From Fundraising Breakthroughs, a real shocker about social networks: Still An Open Question: Can Nonprofits Profit from Social Networking?
- From The Bamboo Project, Google Is Watching You--Way More than You Knew, about Google's Big Brother capabilities.
- And, as the Carnival Host's free pass, Why your website sucks here at the Donor Power Blog.
There were also a couple of posts I can't quite class as scary, but they're worth reading nevertheless:
- From Getting Attention, How to Get Your Nonprofit Team's Bios Right -- Small Changes, Big Impact on how to correctly introduce staff to the world.
- From Cause-Related Marketing, a report on a cool Web 2.0 fundraising campaign: 'Email a Duck, Raise a Buck' by Munchkin for Susan G. Komen.
Next week the Carnival moves to Remarkablog. If you'd like to have your posts considered, submit it via a handy form at BlogCarnival.com, or send an email to npc.carnival AT yahoo DOT com with your name, your blog's name and the URL of the post (not your blog homepage). The deadline is Friday, 8 p.m. (Eastern).
Don't forget to check out a whole series of articles on a Halloween Fundraiser here in Boston that attracted 13,000 this past weekend. Joe
