    The endless possibilities. While making a lens I already have an idea for another. Other people's lenses give me even more ideas!

    I like that I found a place where I can get the end result(s) that I have dreamed of (helping people/getting the word out there about my business, which go hand-in-hand), and the only thing that it costs me is my time. It doesn't get any better than this! Well ... except that it works - and is really fun, too!

    I love the sense of community at Squidoo. Lensmasters go far out of their way to help out on the forums and by making such helpful tutorial based lenses. Squidoo makes it incredibly easy to make a great lens that will actually be found!

    I like Squidoo because it is dedicated to providing a solid platform with high-quality content on a diverse range of subjects. The community is welcoming, open-minded, and willing to give you positive feedback to improve your lenscrafting skills on any topic. It's very rewarding to create lenses that you are passionate about, read amazing lenses created by other interesting lensmasters, share comments, have your lenses ranked, and gain friendships with many Squids along the way...

    I like the ease of use in some lens building applications. The ability to use HTMLl and CSS to design with and the friendly lensmasters.

    I like that you can just express yourself about almost anything from life to the kitchen sink.

    What I Like most about Squidoo.... hmmmm....... Tough question... I like everything about Squidoo. Specially the community that squidoo forms by connecting all great lensmasters.

    What i love about squidoo is that it is so easy to create a nice lens around the things you are passioned about. There are so many lenses you can learn from and get advice about things you need to know about squidoo.

    First - The Name is Great ! - And, the idea of a Lens - narrowing, focusing in on a subject - Gets You Thinking. - Good for curing ADD !!! :)`

    What I mainly like about Squidoo is that its layout is specially designed to give almost anyone their own piece of the "the web," from the total novice to the most experienced IT professional.

    Also, Squidoo has built one of the most welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable communities I have experienced on the internet.

    Two things about Squidoo are really great. As others have mentioned, the sense of community and sharing is invaluable. I've learned much from what other members have written and from their comments on my lenses. The second big plus is the way that my Squidoo lenses have helped to drive traffic to my website of K-12 educational resources, and how I've been able to link Squidoo to my website and driven traffic to my Squidoo lenses.

    I am a person who loves new challenges and when I first discovered squidoo, I found it to be a challenge. Once I got the first lens created and saw what I could do, I was happy with my accomplishment.

    Very cool. Congrats to all.

    I don't like Squidoo, I Love it!! I created my first lens as a fairly new demonstrator for Gold Canyon Candles. I wanted to get the word out about them. Squidoo seemed like a natural choice. It turned out to be a Fantastic choice. I not only got the word out, Squidoo literally helped me grow my business. I love the fact that if you don't know something, there are thousands of people on the forum that have the answer, all you have to do is ask.

    Since I am still developing my blogging skills, I like that Squidoo teaches us how to become a better blogger. I also like how easy it is to stay organized and feature a topic more quickly with Squidoo. Plus, Squidoo is fun.

    You can easily make your own page (for free!) even if you dont have knowledge in html. There are a lot of lenses that are interesting, unique and help you out with their tutorials. And most of all, i like the helpful community.

    the people, the ideas
  • dustytoes Jan 4, 2009 @ 3:29 pm | delete
    I love everyone else's interesting lenses! Seriously...I have found such interesting stuff here and learned to do new html things from the Squidoo help lenses. It's a very informative place....for everyone. I also appreciate the "blessings" bestowed by the Squid Angels. They are very kind.

    I made the lens to share my passion with the world. As it turned out I also helped myself. It helped me to keep my research in one place. The modules created an attractive and organized system for storing information. Making money was also a good motivator to keep focused. On top of that I connected with some really great people with incredible ideas and talents.

    When I created my first lens, I was amazed at how quickly people visited it. Getting visits from people from all parts of the globe is amazing and I get a real kick from knowing that I am part of a world wide network. However the best thing is that everyone is willing to help each other, that is priceless.
  • jfield Jan 4, 2009 @ 1:18 pm | delete
    I love how helpful and supportive the community is! Far from being a cut-throat, competitive bunch, everyone seems to be more than willing to offer advice, critique a lens or give some encouragement. The fact that you can make money actually pales in comparison to the connections and friendships you can form here.

    Other than feeling great when I get a high lensrank, I love it when I get kind & generous comments on my lenses from my peers & those wonderful Squid Angels. I also REALLY love it when I get paid for doing this fun stuff, and can send it along to NAOC in Malawi.
