Developers, Developers, Developers

Steve Ballmer didn’t become such an iconic figure at Microsoft without understanding a thing or two about strategy. Despite his monkey-dancing antics, he knows that developers play a huge role in building great companies these days.

We’re taking Steve’s advice. It’s been a long time coming, and we’re proud to announce the release of our very own Module Development Kit (or MDK, for short). The MDK is a small bundle of PHP scripts that gives developers almost all the tools they need (aside from a web server) to help us extend the Squidoo platform.

Interested? If so, hop on over to our developers lens for details, and drop by our developers forum if you have any questions.

Have an idea for a new module? Let us know and we’ll consider adding it to the official Most Wanted list.

Oh, and we’ve setup an open discussion for the MDK in our brand new Announcements forum.

Go Steve!

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!
