Neighborhoods Undressed

Do you Squidoo?

It is just too much fun! Can I say that on the internet? What is Squidoo? It is a way that anyone, and I do mean anyone can whip up a web site. The idea is to focus on a single topic. I picked my topic a couple of days ago and did most of the work while I was on the phone . . with someone really boring. Introducing the Squidoo Lens of Neighborhoods Undressed, complete with feeds from each members blog.

Here are a couple of my favorite lenses; Non-Electric about power and this little beauty is about Funky Chic, Cool Lap Top Bags. As you can see my tastes are a bit eclectic but my point is that a lens can be about anything. Larry can create a lens about bugs. Bad idea. Bad, bad, bad idea.

Squidoo is free and easy to use. It consists of individual modules. The lens master chooses the modules, arranges them and puts in the content. The Lens was invented by Seth Godin and first launched in October of 2005. They are supported by advertising which is shared with the lens master. A portion of the money goes to charity, and lens masters can set a lens up so that all revenue from it goes to charity. . . all $.49 of it . . .

Lenses have RSS feeds and move up in rank as they get traffic and good ratings. The best way to get traffic to a lens is to put links to it from blogs or web sites, build a great lens, and of course write a blog post about it. The neighborhoods undressed lens will promote each blog in the network.
