Yikes… My Apologies

Some of you got a note from our computers today. It told you that if you didn’t “improve” your lens in 14 days, it would be deleted.

What a bummer. How disheartening.

I apologize.

First, instead of “improve”, we should have said, “add modules.” The goal of the email was to help avoid squatters… people who take a whole bunch of prime Squidoo real estate and hoard it.

Second, the language should have been more clear.

Third, it should have been a lot nicer. You (our beta testers) are the heart of this project.

Absolutely no disrespect was intended. I’m sorry if some was received.

As for us, the person who wrote this has been transferred to the Transylvania office, where they are now in charge of repainting the inside of all of our shipping containers. Twice.

Thanks for your patience.

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!

Get Started!
