We’re blushing

You should be, too.

Looks like you guys got nominated in the Mashable Open Web Awards.

For two, count em, two categories: nonprofit causes and “mainstream social networks” (their verbiage, not ours). Of course, Squidoo’s up against worthwhile competition of the likes of KIVA in one category, and Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook in the other.

It’s an interesting place to be. Squidoo’s gotten so popular that we’re not the underdog newbies anymore. But we’re still so small and focused on good content and our core community that the paparazzi doesn’t harass us like the big guys.

Anyway, congrats on the nomination. Go ahead and vote for yourselves, to celebrate. Or just go out for ice cream.

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!
