Why is Squidoo the Best Website Ever?

Squidoo is, to my mind the best website on the net.  Why?  More reasons than I can think of - so this lens will always be a work in progress.  There is so much to enjoy and admire.  The whole principle behind Squidoo is one of the greatest ideas to ever hit the internet - the power of recommendation.  You will find so much on Squidoo - this is just a taster of what there is....

My Top Reasons Why Squidoo is the Best Ever! 

  • The Lenses
    So much well presented information about so many things
  • The Lensmasters
    People who are passionate about their subject
  • The Squid Team
    A group of heroes whose hard work keeps Squidoo the wonderful place it is
  • The Sharing
    Squidoo and the Lensmasters donate thousands of dollars to a huge number of charities every year
  • The Friends
    I've made friends all over the planet thanks to Squidoo
  • The Fun
    It's addictive, once you've made your first lens your hooked...

Lens Of The Day 

The best of the best - All about Lens of the Day

"Introducing The Squid Team..."

Seth Godin 

What can I say about Seth that has not already been said by many and in far better words than I can string together. Suffice it to say - Seth, you are one of my heroes. Thank You.

GilToTheRescue 

Gil is a Star - he deserves as many chocolate ponies as you can round up - why? Because he keeps Squidoo running and gives us lots of cool toys to play with..... (and he's cute too!)

Megan Casey 

Megan is the Editor in Chief, the big cheese, and a really nice lady to boot! Sense of humour - absolutely. Strong principles - definitely. A sure and steady guiding hand - you bet. I believe she likes the occasional chocolate pony too....

Corey Brown 

Corey describes himself as a Web Architect - to me, he's the Wizard of CSS... I use his lens all the time to get answers to my questions. Sadly I don't know his views on chocolate ponies...

Kimberly Dawn Wells 

Kimberly is Squidoo's Community Organizer, she looks after the lensmasters and soothes our tangled tentacles not to mention loads of new projects, and builds lenses and...... Kimberly's partial to an occasional pony as well I believe

Blake aka RealNerd 

To paraphrase his own words Blake is a software developer who is trying to decide if that's what he really wants to be now he's gown up... He helps keep the waters smooth for us Squids.... I think he likes chocolate ponies too

The Citizen Squids 

Citizen Squids do all sorts of jobs, helping out our awesome Squid Team. Trialling, Testing, Moderating - you name it. It's a temporary position and you get to play in the Big Squids Pool!

The Silver Lining... 

To Every Squidoo Cloud

You've created a wonderful lens with lots of wonderful information - now you need to get people to look at it. This was the dilemma I was faced with when I created my first lens, SquidU told me there were all sorts of great things out there - go use them, but where to start was the thorny question, never mind how. There had to be an easy way - building a lens was easy so there had to be a correspondingly easy way to promote it and share my passions. I sat there thinking about which Tags to use and the Sun came out from behind the Squidoo Cloud and The Silver Lining shone through. You can find out what I came up with when you Click Here I've just updated the Silver Lining with all sorts of new information ......
