Squidoo Beta: Wave One

We kicked off Squidoo’s closed beta test today, inviting just a few hundred people to help us kick the tires and refine the platform before our public beta launch. It’s probably an understatement to say we’re excited. These are the first people, outside of our small team, to see what we’ve been building. It’s not perfect, it’s not done, but it’s ready to try.

If you requested a beta invitation and didn’t make the first wave, don’t worry. We’ll be inviting additional testers on a rolling basis as the beta test progresses.

And if you haven’t requested an invitation yet, it’s not too late: Just ask. Even if you don’t get in, you’ll still be the first to know when we launch.

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
