Squidblog

Sometimes we get so busy cooking up new stuff here at SquidHQ that we wind up with a backlog of cool features to tell you about. So consider this a post to officially get stuff that has been flying under the radar, ON your radar. It’s worth it.

First, you saw the new lensmaster bio page launch yesterday. Here are just a few of my favorite examples.

Next up is the sweet new Lijit module. “Unify your content and make it searchable” is the catch phrase from the Lijit team, and that’s a pretty cool way to put your stake in the ground online. Basically, it makes it easy for you to make one big list of all the places you save or create content, like Flickr and Squidoo and Facebook and Delicious and your blogs, then roll that list up into a you-specific search. (Hint: Yep, it will roll all your lenses in there too). Then when readers stop by your lens, they can search all your content on the web with just one click. Told you it was sweet. Check it out in action on Corey’s lens. Then go try it on your own.

Finally, we also released a Feedmysearch module. Works like the older Google Blog Search module, but better. You just type in a keyword, choose whether you want to show news, blogs, web or local results, and bang… live, fresh news and posts right on your lens.

Oh, and after a few weeks of ironing out the wrinkles, the Lens of the Day blog is back and hot to trot. Have you been picked yet?

And that’s all she wrote. For now. Lots more soon.
