Look at that thing. It's shiny. It's sleek. It's calling to you

Here are ten of the best Facebook/Twitter-based iPad giveaways I've found. (See the individual websites for full contest rules and details.)

The contest list has doubled from the original post. If you hear of others, let us know. Scams have also cropped up with iPads as bait, so remember your due diligence.
Before the launch, we wrote about a daring intern who risked his job by staging a contest with the as yet unseen iPad as a prize.

So if you want to get your hands on one without spending any cash, this may be the ticket.
