Oh, and lens # 50,000?

And the milestone goes to…

50,000 lenses, and a favor

Squidoo just hit 50,000 lenses.

To celebrate, here’s a challenge from us to you. (Yes, you).

If every Squidoo member built just one new lens, today, we could help Room to Read build a new school in Vietnam or Nepal. And then another. And another. And another. Because your lens could just keep earning royalties, for free, forever.

Click on the link below, right now, and invest 5 or 7 minutes to make a lens on Your Favorite Things. Or your 10 favorite books. Or movies. Or a holiday wishlist.

Then point to your lens from your blog or share it with a few friends. Better yet, invite your friends to join you. Then you’re done.

Day in and day out, for weeks or months or years into the future, that lens will be earning pennies or dimes or dollars to support Room to Read.

Thanks, everyone.

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!
