Googler Brad Fitzpatrick has dressed up as Facebook for Halloween. Ironic, since he might easily have been a Facebooker dressing up in Google’s primary colors right now. Before jumping from Six Apart, he interviewed at both Facebook and Google. And now the two companies are set up for a tumultuous clash — not just over hiring one employee, but over the future of online ads. Facebook is set to announce its own targeted-ad network next week, taking on Google’s AdSense; Google is soon to launch open standards for widgets, competing with Facebook’s platform for developers. It’s getting scary up in here. Which raises the question: How am I going to put the fright on Silicon Valley this Halloween?
I don’t need a costume. I’m just going to go around telling people I’m the Valleywag, to see if they jump out of their skins. Trick or treat!

Last night, when Brad Stone and Miguel Helft got the scoop about Google’s OpenSocial program, they included a quote from Forrester Research analyst Charlene Li. You can still find the quote using Google’s search engine, but it’s gone from the text of the story, and we can’t find any cached version. Why? Perhaps it was cut for space in the final print version. That strikes me as curious, since space considerations don’t apply to the Web, where the full version could have easily remained. More intriguing is the whispers that an unduly loquacious Li might have played a role in the New York Times getting the scoop. We’re stumped. Anyone have an answer?
