The Giant Squid Organizers have a treat for you
For those who don’t know, the Giant Squids are our group of movers and shakers on Squidoo. They’re a terrific gathering of people who display the unique ability not just to build great lenses, but also the dedication to make lots of great lenses. And on top of that, they show the same kind of curiosity, creativity and generosity that Squidoo was founded on.
But there’s another, smaller group you should also know about. The Giant Squid Organizers. Robin, Patti and Bonnie are the 3 tireless volunteers who are constantly in the mix, sleeves rolled up, working hard for their fellow Giant Squids. They run blogs and chat sessions and interviews and contests for making and sharing ever better lenses. These ladies show up every day and spend priceless amounts of energy supporting our Giant Squids–and all Squidoo lensmasters. If I were wearing a hat, it would be off to them.
Just one of the many projects they’ve cooked up for the Giants lately is the year-end Giant Squid Awards program. It’s a way to give back to the Giants community, to call out some hardworking lensmasters, and to celebrate the spirit of diversity and creativity in the program. It’s far less a competition than it is a way to say thanks to their fellow Giants, and to show off some of the coolest lenses in some fun categories.
Even if you’re not a Giant Squid, and perhaps especially if you’re not a Giant (yet!), it’s a wonderful way to discover some terrific new lenses in the bunch.
