We’re Digging Digg, and Cool Tools, Too.

I confess. We have a lot of Squid stuff hanging around the office. Fishing lure that’s decidedly squiddy, squid puppets, hats, buttons, stickers, paintings.

One of our favorite products is the Squid powerstrip, written up by Kevin Kelly a few days ago on his Cool Tools site. PowerSquid aside, Cool Tools is a wonderful place for recommended gadgets, books, sites, hardware, software and more. We’re fans. (Along with countless others on the web).

So it was only a matter of time before we introduced the Cool Tools module. It sports an RSS feed of the coolest stuff the site has to offer.

Another popular site we dig is Digg, where you decide the news. Like Squidoo, Digg touches on the idea that we are all craving online recommendations (in Digg’s case, news items). So a Digg headlines module was a natural fit.

Give ‘em a try. Let us know what you think!

(Both modules are featured as “New” in the Module Picker).

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!
