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

"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.
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 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 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 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
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
We don't do Spam at Squidoo - EVER! Spam isn't tolerated by anyone - we all watch out for it and if we even get so much as a whiff of a spammy smell, we clean it out! We love good lenses at Squidoo but if Spam is your dish of the day - stay away!
... that everyone deserves a voice online, and a free service for sharing and spreading recommendations, ideas, products and passions. Not just the gatekeepers. Not just paid editors. Not just A-listers and marketers. Everyone. We also believe...
"Drum Roll For The Special Squids"
Squid Angels
Squid Angels help look after Squidoo, blessing good lenses and helping out the Squid Team along with Citizen Squids and lots of others. Squidoo is a self regulating community which is another good thing too - we like a clean, tidy and spam free home.

A place to meet Squidoo's team of angels.
The Citizen Squids

Giant Squids are lensmasters who have made 50 great lenses - not just 50 lenses but 50 great lenses! Giant Squid Status is awarded by the Big Squids so if you think you qualify - swim on over to the The Giant Squids Lens and find out more!
No, it's not a rock group. It's the core group of movers and shakers at Squidoo.
One day at Squidoo Headquarters, Seth and Megan noticed something. They noticed that many of our community's best lenses are built by people who have a lot of lenses. T...

What would you like to see about Squidoo on this lens...
Tell me what you think is so great about Squidoo, what you would like to see on this lens or even what you think about it. Shock, Horror - if you think I've missed anything - let me know...
Thanks for putting the portals all in one place. They are almost impossible to locate. I'm keeping this lens so I can just click on each one when I need them.
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 ......
