New And Improved - Now with Dead Links!

When somebody gets 50% of the revenue from an enterprise, they're not a "service," they're a partner. When they have more control over operations than you do, they're a senior partner. In web publishing, as in life choose your partners carefully.

Did you write a lens for a "co-branded" group only to be hung out to dry for months? Fortunately, not many did, since these were SO hard to locate.

Unfortunately they have remained hard to locate ... til now!

"Orphan" Groups at Squidoo

Before Squidoo introduced the present version of Squidoo groups, they tried some "cobranded groups." If you tried to steal a march on the competition by joining one of these groups before they were "officially" activated -- you've been waiting over two years now.

My Lensmaster Index: The Editors of Rolling Stone Magazine lens seems to have had the desired effect after I aggresively promoted it to lensrank 116. Perhaps Squidoo LLC will get the point a little sooner this time.

The Peter Principle

Like Parkinson's Law, the Peter Principle:
"In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence." -- is so ironic that many assume that it is intended as satire. Nope.
