Great Minds Think Alike - and Make Great Lenses

I know it's happened to you, too. You get this great idea for a lens then search Squidoo to see if it's been done. In the results you find someone beat you to the punch.

Well, this lens is an homage to those lensmasters who have created content that I would have if they didn't. In most cases, I'll have to concede that theirs are probably better than mine would have been. :)

So, check 'em out, and let them know what a great job they did!

Great Work, Squids!

    Well, every good or great subject deserves more than one lens. Each person adds something special to it

    This is a great lens! I have had so man ideas that were already taken. I'm sure that the other lenses were much better than anything I would have made, though.

    Yes, there are tons of creative squids that have beat me to the punch. They are more creative than I am and I am just too slow. If you have a favorite hobby or subject you are passionate about you should write about it anyways. Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)

    Oh -- there I go talking to myself again! ;) You know more and more I am finding lenses that I thought I created, but they are by another lensmaster. Lots of great minds thinking alike !!!

    This is such a cute idea, thanks for putting it together. Just today when I was visiting around the new angel lenses to say congratulations (congratulations!) I saw one about "Mothering Sunday," an English holiday that some really beautiful songs have been written about. I recorded one of them a while back and was thinking of doing a lens to support the song, but then I saw - it's covered...

    Yeah I know how this feels! I was going to do one about Zazzle, but so many people have done that, I decided not to bother. And I didn't find out somebody already did a Delilah lens until after I had mine created! As a general rule, if I know somebody already made a lens about something and did a better job than I could ever do, I'll just fave their lens and move on.

    This is a great topic! Well, when I did my lens on the original Amazon Kindle, I thought I was being original -- and then I saw SO many lenses on that topic -- Ooops ... I wanted to write about it because I bought it when it first was available. I was so excited about getting it that I sent my hubby home to check our front door to see if the UPS guy had left it. I try to be original as much as possible.

    I used to feel that if a lens had already been done then I just wouldn't make a lens about that subject. I think that experience has told me that if I find something I really want to write about though I just do it in another way.

    What a clever idea and a nice way to spotlight other's lenses! Thank you so much for spotlighting my soy lens too! And I agree with MysticMama that sometimes I go search lenses and think, "I can do better than that" and make one anyway...but you have so many ideas I'm sure you can come up with more. 5*
