Interview to a Skill

Ethan Poole recently interviewed me and Gil Hildebrand, Jr., Squidoo’s chief engineer, for the webmaster e-zine Lowter. The conversation addresses the ideas behind Squidoo, how lenses compare and contrast to other web publishing tools, how lensmasters can benefit by building better lenses, and Squidoo’s use of Ajax and other technology tools.

The interview does well to capture some of the major building blocks of the Squidoo platform. Lensmasters and non-lensmasters alike might find it useful. Thanks, Ethan, for your attention and interest!

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!
