Squidblog

We’ve come a long way since opening our doors (and signup pages) a little over two years ago. After Seth posted his SquidUpdate, I couldn’t help but think about all the trials and tribulations we’ve gone through.

With that in mind, I put together a lens on how we built Squidoo, from an engineer’s perspective. It gets a little geeky at times, but I’m hoping it’ll still make for an interesting read even if you’re part of the 99.999% of the population who knows that LAMP is something you turn on when it gets dark.

P.S. Squidoo has big plans for the future, and we’re looking for a super talented developer to help us make magic happen. If you know someone who might be a good fit, there’s even a $3,000 bounty for helping us find the right match. We’ve got all the details on our job listing lens.
