A Thursday rollup of fun things worth knowing and stuff worth reading…

• The Giant Squids are currently in secret beta testing of a brand new Module Picker. Releasing to a lens near you some time next week.
• Fluffanutta over at SquidUtils has cooked up a terrific browser toolbar for lensmasters.
• Did you know the text module is used more than 1,204,485 times? That’s some good writing, people.
• The hot hot hot module that made Twttrstrm rock and roll is now available as a standalone module, to add to any of your hot topic or debate lenses. Ask a question in the Twitterstorm module, and invite your Twitter followers to answer.
• Lots of chat lately about multiple Squidoo accounts. Captain Squid has level-headed insights as always. If you don’t use multiple accounts to fake anyone out, and if you remember to stake your reputation on your work, all’s good.
• 2 new modules: The Giant Squid Community Showcase module, and the Want to Be A Giant Squid module. Featuring the popular blogs run by lensmasters RMS and BDKZ. Look for the modules and consider adding them as a P.S. to your lenses, if you’re of a mentoring mind.
• Kimberly has a thoughtful and great SquidU Review writeup about Work-in-Progress lenses (WIP). When should they stay, when should they go?

There. 7 things you didn’t know five minutes ago. Doesn’t that feel good.
