the first time i actively participated in Squidu, within a couple of days, one of my lenses received over 10 ratings and another over 20 ratings. From then on, i have been hooked to Squidu, and i believe whatever little progress i have made on squidoo, i can safely attribute atleast 50% to my involvement on squidU. I didnt realise that there were other forums as well. This will only broaden the horizon.

Yes, we do think it's necessary. Especially since we're newbies and need much assistance and guidance. Guidance to show us the paths to where we need to get to, and do the things we need to do. It can be a maze of twist and turns, getting lost comes all too frustrating and time consumming. After all one of the most important things on our list of priorities, is to have fun in our ventures.

Yes, because like everything, squidoo is about people. By sharing in forums, getting involved in debates, sincerely involved in other discussions, you get to know people. Plus, your signature is there when you comment. So you don't really need to say much about your own lens but get involved genuinely.

Obviously because it helps learning a lot and quickly also, instead of going on one's own way.

Oh, networking is essential. Whether you do it through message boards, commenting on other people's lenses or helping out or blogging - doesn't really matter. I think each of us has to find their own style.
But without networking, how will other lensmasters know your fabulous ;) lenses even exist? Let alone vote for them or link to them?

I've learned so much from reading the message boards - especially Squid-U.. I can't imagine having come this far at Squidoo without all the help and inspiration I've been getting from other lensmasters.

Great Lens! I love Squidoo, and the message boards are a part I've fail at being involved with, but I've recently developed a desire to be more involved. I'm reading this Lens at just the right time, I really needed it, thanks!
