We’ve seen off the goolies, but now it’s time for Bonfire Night! We’ve rounded up this week’s Fawke-ing best stories to start your Monday with a bang(er)!

Who would have thought the intelligence agencies were interested in what we ate for breakfast? We’re just glad somebody cares!

Will the Pope join David Cameron and other celebs on Twitter?

The Pope has expressed a desire to become “better trained in electronic communications”. We can’t wait to see his Instagrams.

In your head, Zombie…

Wednesday was Halloween – a great opportunity for socially-minded creatives to unleash their latest stunts.

American retail chain Sears did a particularly solid job of creating a zombie campaign for their website. Visitors were able to pick a side – human vs. zombie.

Facebook in the line of fire today?

‘Hacktivist’ group Anonymous is threatening to take down Facebook and release Zynga games for free after the makers of Farmville announced a plan to cut 5% of its workforce. Unless Zynga agrees to drop the plans, Facebook might be offline later on today. Yikes.

Brace yourself for anarchy people.

Enjoy Guy Fawkes night and stay safe…
