    I'm always a bit scared I'm over using it. But then, I don't really get annoyed at the way other people use it - so I probably obsess too much over it.

    spirituality says:

    I'm always a bit scared of overusing it. But then, I'm not annoyed at other people squidcasting that they added something to their lenses, or created new ones, so I guess I may be worrying about nothing.

    triathlontraining says:

    Great ideas! I only thought of using it for one thing. Wow!

    pyle_mountain says:

    tobybeavers says:

    Show Me The Squid!

    EelKat says:

    I'm kind of torn on this. On one hand I like it, because I get updates from my fave Squidooers, and I can let my own fans know when I've made a new lens; but on the other hand it takes time away from other things I could be doing.

    Rajays says:

    Another place to check often cause I am fan of so many. more work :) I am way to addicted as it is. Squidoo me crazy :)

    Frankster says:

    I agree with N376. I'm already Squidooing in my sleep! LOL

    N376 says:

    I think it's another insidious tool to keep us all addicted to Squidoo!
