Giant Squid Challenge June 2009

(This is how it was all set up - the first Squidoo Greeters Challenge)

I am excited to be part of the Giant Squid Challenge for June 2009. The Giant Squid Challenge is being run by the Squidoo Greeters. Each Greeter is creating their own "team" for this challenge. Won't you join my team - the Jolly Judicious Jetsetters?

In order to participate, you must be a prospective Giant or prospective Giant 100 for June 2009. There is a separate challenge for each group.

What is the prize? The team with the most PG lenses and the team with the most 100 club lenses will get a special chat with the Giant Squid Organizers, a blog post and bragging rights. For a list of teams, see the Squid Squad

After May 1, no new contestants will be added. So join a team and get busy making super lenses!

How to Participate? As you create qualified lenses after May 1, add them to the appropriate plexo. There is a plexo for Potential Giants and a different plexo for Potential Giant 100's! Let's make tons of great lenses before the deadline!

It is wonderful to see your lenses being added to the plexo! I am anxious to visit each one! How exciting!

Important Hints and Tips

The best way to learn how to produce super lenses is to visit super lenses. Go to the new Squidoo home page and visit the top 5 in every category!--a simple little exercise that will inspire you for sure! Choose a different category a day and watch your mind go to work!

Explore the different modules. How many different modules can you use in this contest period. Make your lenses stand out from the crowd!

Make holiday lenses - Grab a calendar and make a lens for every holiday! Holiday lenses are fun, and you will be glad you have those done ahead of the holidays!

Make a lensography - tell us about yourself and display your lenses using the featured lens module.

Make a directory of lenses in a category.

Make lenses about your geographic area - tell us about the habits of the people in your area. Educate us!

Make a music lens about your favorite song and/or artist. Remember to write original content, not just copy and paste from wikipedia.

Make a funny lens! We all need a giggle! Check out the humor category and find one that makes you laugh, then make one yourself!

Be a part of the Squidoo community - visit the forum every day, visit at least 5-10 lenses a day. Comment, favorite and rate.

It's fun to visit all of the potential giants and giant 100's in your June class. Get to know your classmates. Share the journey!

Enjoy! Have fun! Laugh every day!

    This has been so much fun - and while working side by side with you would have been a joy, going head to head with you was quite a thrill - it's always fun to challenge somebody you know might be a little bit better - you keep me on my toes, my friend. Now that the challenge is over, I hope we get back to bantering on Twitter. I've missed that, being on an opposing team.

    yeah! Janelle! Thanks for the statistical update! We are doing better than I thought! We do have members who have not posted their lenses to the plexo. I have been trying to contact most of them. If you know any of our team members, do try to contact them in the next few days and ask them to post their lenses here! That would really really help us! Yeah and Hooray and Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jetsetters!!!!!!!!

    I put 3 more lenses onto the plexo today - that makes 30 for me in the contest, and only 6 more to go to get my 100th lens and apply for Giant100 club. Just taking a look at the other teams, thought y'all might like to see stats:

    We have 379 lenses made by 32 people. (11.8 per person)
    Team Kab has 469 made by 33; (14.2 per person)
    RayJay's has 122 made by 16; (7.6 per person)
    JustBon's team has 40 made by 8; (7.6 per person)
    and Willow's Team is sitting at 574 made by 39. (14.7 per person)

    So you see ... in sheer numbers, we are in third place ... but on a per capita basis, we are only a half-lens per person away from tying Willow's group for first place. Hey, I'm a bean counter ... what did you expect from me? LOL

    Go Team Go!!! Rah Rah Rah!!! Shake those pom poms, beat those drums ... and get back in the game! That's to get me to finish my last 6 lenses, btw. *grin**

    Just added another lens to the Plexo. One that I did after hearing about the new Squidoo lens module: twttrlist. Fun to do; but kept me from working on the next two ones I have in WIP that I want to get done and published. Oh well, I'll get em done!

    Fun to see all the great lenses people have been creating.

    The last couple of weeks were extremely busy for me and I spent many days away from the computer. Starting today, however, I'm visiting a few lenses submitted by fellow JJJJ members to the two lists above - every day. I'll simply go down the list until I visit them all. Good luck everybody!! :)

    Thanks everyone for visiting my lenses! What a great group! Lot of good lenses coming up here too!

    On a very wise suggestion, I'm breaking up the story into 3 parts (10 days each) so it's more manageable and readable. Part 2 will just be the end of the existing lens moved over.

    I had forgotten how fast Squidoo was until I started editing the story as a new lens. Wow Zippy!

    So enjoy - it's posted in the plexo list (LA or Bust - Final Countdown)

    Thanks again! WE ROCK!
