Squidoo Champions for Charity
Squidoo Activists are a new group on Squidoo. The purpose of the Activists is a group that focuses on charity. We are Champions for Charity.
The Squidoo Activists grew out of the Squidoo SuperHero Challenge brainstorm of Squidoo's Non-profit Organizer Extraordinarie, Anne Reidy.
Many of the original members were invited to participate as Squidoo Activists because of our participation in the SuperHero Challenge.
The primary goal of the Squidoo Activists is to do even more for charities using Squidoo.

Unleashing the Ideavirus
Amazon Price: $11.20 (as of 08/30/2008)
Squidoo is an example of an Idea Virus, a viable commercial concept set loose among those who are most likely to catch it, become infected and pass it on to others who might do the same.
According to Seth, "The future belongs to marketers who establish a foundation and process where interested people can market to each other. Ignite consumer networks and then get out of the way and let them talk."
