Squidoo Lensmaster Classification

My attempt at humor to define the various characters in Squidoo. Please send me your terminology.

Squidoo Classification

I have divided the Squidoo Community into 8 groups and have given each a name.
  1. SquidHead - Seth Godin, founder of Squidoo LLC. Man of the Year! Three cheers!!!
  2. SquidHQ - Staff at Squidoo, you know who you are, you are doing a great job, you are overworked and probably underpaid...If our paths every cross, beer is on me!
  3. Squidizen - You are volunteer/helpers. You are definitely underpaid and probably addicted to Squidoo. (OK I didn't make this term up, this term is an existing terminology)
    Thanks for helping Newbies navigate Squidoo.
  4. SquidPR - Are the rest of all lensmasters. The PR stands for permanent resident status. Some are doing it for profit and some are doing it for charity but I suspect all are having fun! Maybe SquidHQ can issue us our "purple card" to prove our status?
  5. SquidTo - Squidoo Tourists. They are registered members of Squidoo that only browse but do not create any content. Let's get them addicted too.
  6. SquidIA - These are Squidoo Ilegal Aliens. They are the "scammers" on Squidoo that tries to make a quick buck with lens that are "junk" in CONTENT. I hate to insult illegal aliens whom many are hardworking honest people. Better watch out. We are keeping an eye on you. We will expose you and get you out of Squidoo.
  7. SquidCon - These are the Squidoo Con-artists and convicts who are engaging in illegal activities and stealing from the rest of the Squidoo community. In the process, they are stealing from the charities that we are trying to help. How low can you go?
    Better pack your bags, the cops are on their way.
  8. SquidAngel - A new group of 12 lensmasters that overseas quality of content on Squidoo. I am one of them.

Honorable mentions...

  1. SquidAU - Squid authors, the AU stands for Gold, you are the value of Squidoo.
  2. SquidJu - Squidoo Jurists. I am one of a handful honorable position. We vote monthly on the best lens...
  3. SquidNB - Squidoo Newbies, they don't live too long. Once you become familiar with Squidoo, most people will become somewhat savvy after about 1 month.
  4. Squid100 - The top 100 lensmasters...?
  5. SquidDittoHead - Seth Godin wanta bes. You are out there.
  6. SquidooDoo - Crappy lensmasters, I hope we don't have too many of these.
  7. SquidBuds - Some have referred to this group as illuminati. I think they are just buddies of people in the know.
  8. SquidApostle - Those that are true believers of permission marketing and wants to spread the word.

The goal of Squidoo

My intention is to grow Squidoo by increasing the population of groups 2-5. We are also going to root out group 6 and 7. Squidoo rocks!!!

    SquidooDoo - love it! How funny. I never thought of the Tourists before, but that's a great way to look at them.

    That's a great idea. Do you know where I can find the listing on terminology? Thanks.

    Hi, Jack. Maybe you could add the classifications from the forums.
