Making a difference

A few months ago, the Squidoo.com community donated a few thousand dollars to Donors Choose, a terrific organization that makes it easy for teachers to bring classroom projects (without official budgets!) to life.

One of the projects we supported was the classroom of Rebecca Besch, who had applied for new computers, monitors, and Photoshop to boot.

I was delighted to get a thank you note from Rebecca recently, along with pictures and handwritten notes from the kids.

Sometimes I forget how good it feels to, well, do good. And that the Squidoo community is making a big impact in the real world.

Thanks, lensmasters.

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!
