Squidoo

I participated in the closed beta of Squidoo and created a few lenses to test. Recently they went into open beta, so I can now talk about my experience and encourage others to check Squidoo out.

I bet you are wondering what a lens is... Well, they say that everyone is an expert on something, so a lens is like a glimpse into specific topics, created by individuals. A lens is one page that points to many other places.

For example, Jane Goodall has a lens called Jane Goodall: The Big Picture, which points to various projects and websites about her work.

I think it is very cool and a great way to promote an idea, share your work, or teach others. I have made several lenses to test, that I will develop over time.

Since I love ferrets and I'm involved in ferret rescue and rehab, I created a lens called Ferret Fun.

I also love to collect and share recipes, so I created a lens called Recipes.

Photography is my passion and flickr is my current obsession, so I knew I had to make a lens called We Love Flickr.

P.S. You can also make money doing this, or donate your royalties to a charity of your choice!
