Squidoo and Facebook Get Married
Go, Squidoo, Go!
Squidoo has added some cool Facebook Connect connections.
Here is how the wonderful and beautiful and talented Megan Casey explains SquidooConnect: “SquidooConnect is like a bridge between Squidoo and Facebook. It helps your friends cross over to see your lenses, and helps you cross over to talk to people about your lenses on Facebook. [...]
How I’m going to use TwitterStorm
Yesterday Squidoo launched their newest clever creation. It’s called TwitterStorm and is a clever merge between a lens and Twitter.
You make a question lens, kind of like Yahoo Answers meets Squidoo, and people can write and vote answers via Twitter.
When they participate by answering your question a link to your lens appears on their Twitter [...]

New: Categories!
Exciting times.
Squidoo has just created 10 new categories for us to play with.
They have added a couple that probably could/should have been added from the beginning (like Home & Garden!) and they added a couple that are more of an experiment than anything else (like Duel and the potentially-troublesome Work at Home).
Here is the [...]

Just a quick note about a quick and easy new module.

Another reason why I love Squidoo
Because they are constantly improving!

It’s like 4 or 5 full time staff.
There is a great new feature for Giants Squids that I just posted about because I thought it was a feature everyone got (but I took the post down when I [...]
