Squidoo News

A lot of people have been asking me this very question…so for all the
new people who have just joined Squidoo you're in for a real treat.

The
Giant Squids are the core group of movers and shakers at Squidoo. It's a
gathering of the
influentials, the elite, the most passionate and dedicated on Squidoo.

Here's
how this whole thing started. One day at Squidoo
Headquarters, Megan and Seth noticed something. They noticed that many
of the best lenses are built by people who have a lot of lenses.
There's an art to building a Squidoo page, and once you learn it, you
can scale it. You get addicted to it. You do it over and over again,
and your lenses get better and better.

Sure, there are plenty of
lensmasters with just 2 or 3 terrific lenses and no plans to make more,
and we're happy to have them around. Quality and content are important.
King, even. But the intersection of quality and
quantity, that's a rare thing. It shows commitment, leadership,
a willingness to experiment, and excellence.

So
we wanted a way to reward those people, a way to help them do even more
great work, and a way to make sure the rest of the world knows just how
unique they are. That's why we created the Giant Squids program.

The
Giant Squids are also mentors, friends, community leaders and just an
all around great bunch of people.

So that's who the Giant Squids
are. Interested in becoming one? You should be. Visit THE GIANT SQUIDS (and how you
can become one) to find out how. The next deadline to apply for
Giant Squid status is June 30th, 2010.
