This certainly was a fun lens to see in 2008. Not much traffic this year, but I'll be one!
We'll all be waiting to see if you'll make another lens like this for 2009.

This was really difficult. Several of those in contention for Giant Squid of 2008 have been so kind and helpful as I tried to navigate Squidoo. Chef Keem, ComfortDoc, and Jaguar Julie all took time to leave encouraging messages or contact me by email or both. I wish everyone well. Squidoo is a fun, unique place. I'm thankful my publisher sent me the link.

How could you not vote for this man? He lives and breathes Squidoo and lobbies for charities while trying to make the community a better place for so many reasons. His contributions to charities are the dedicated loyal work it takes to be a Giant Squid. His quick reactions to assist new members and assist them in everything he knows, sharing and giving and contributing in all the ways a successful Giant should do. His dedication to his appointment as Giant he has taken on with meaningfulness and sincerity and true loyalty to help the community as a whole, always leaving his personal goals in there as he should, but taking this on as a true Giant in heart and soul. He is so desrving of this and so much more.

Wow. I knew there were a lot of great lenses, but this was still an amazing adventure. Sure was hard to decide on some of them which one to vote for.

There are so many wonderful Lens to vote for, that it makes it hard. n376 is one site that has helped me find the help I need to make my Lens better. Others have helped as well.

No, it's not a rock group (but it might as well be). It's the core group of movers and shakers at Squidoo. It's a gathering of influentials, the most dedicated lensmakers on Squidoo. Here's how this whole thing started. One day at Squidoo Headquarte...
