Squidoo releases TWTTRSTRM

Robin wants to know what’s for dinner tonight.

Darren wonders What Twitter Features You Wish Existed.

EnslavedbyFaeries is curious who is making real money on Squidoo.

And I’m asking what people like most about Mashable, and who your favorite Squidoo lensmasters to follow on Twitter are.

Just for starters.

Welcome to TWTTRSTRM. (No, we didn’t have enough money to buy vowels). It stands for TwitterStorm.

Ask a question of your Twitter followers and easily gather all their answers in one spot. Here’s what Mashable and Darren Rowse over at TwiTip have to say about it.

Squidoo Twttrstrm

Twttrstrm is a Squidoo plug in and a stand alone site that allows any Twitter user to start a discussion or ask for advice or just create a record of a thread. “Should I buy a Blackberry or an iPhone?” or “What do you think of Guy Kawasaki’s Alltop?” or “Short reviews of The Dark Knight” or “Where should I get sushi in San Diego?” (Get more ideas for Twttrstrm uses).

Here’s the magic part: as your followers click through and respond, the storm spreads to their followers. So, in short, it’s a threaded, viral, structured conversation in the middle of the Twitter melee.

It’s free and really easy to use in tandem with your Twitter account. The unsung bonus is that you can even earn royalties from the Twttrstrm conversations you create. For you or for charity. Just like any Squidoo lens.

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!
