Squid Soup Ingredient #1 - Squidoo on Wikipedia
Squidoo is a website designed to make it easy for anyone, for free, to set up a single page on a topic he or she knows or cares a lot about. Advertising revenue is shared with these content creators, and some of it is given to charity. Squidoo was launched in October 2005 by Squidoo.com, LLC based in Irvington, New York; the site came out of beta testing in March 2006.
Squidoo is a network of user-generated lenses --single pages that highlight one person's point of view, recommendations, or expertise. Lenses can be about anything, such as ideas, people or places, hobbies and sports, pets or products, philosophy, and politics. Lenses aren't primarily intended to hold content; more emphasis is placed on recommending and then pointing to content on the web. Annotation and organization and personalization delivers context and meaning.
Users who create lenses are called lensmasters. A lensmaster uses the tools available online to provide links, feeds, abstracts, and lists to users who are trying to make sense of a topic. For example, a single lens could point to Flickr photos, Google maps, blogs, eBay auctions, YouTube videos, and other links. Lensmasters are encouraged to promote personal agendas, expertise, causes, products, and opinions.
Squidoo splits its revenue with its "co-op" of lensmasters. 5% goes straight to charity, first. Then 50% goes to the lensmasters. 45% goes to Squidoo. The site is estimating that nearly half of all the lensmasters on the site are donating their royalties to any of 65 featured charities, ranging from NPR and the American Heart Association to smaller organizations like Chimp Haven and Planet Gumbo.
Squidoo was founded by author, speaker, and notable blogger Seth Godin. On Godin's founding team was his book editor Megan Casey, former Fast Company employee Heath Row, Corey Brown, and Gil Hildebrand, Jr.

Are You Nuts About Squidoo?
Try this Sugar Pecan Recipe and you'll be nuts about it, too. . .
A Real SquidSnack: Build a lens and make a tasty snack at the same time . . .Although recipes are meant to be treasured, they are also meant to be shared. This recipe is simple, and it took me about 5 minutes to put together and an hour to bake.Â
 Preheat Oven to 250 Degrees F.
Beat (1) Egg White and (1) Teaspoon of Cold Water until fluffy. Add (4) Cups Pecans and coat well.
In Large Bowl Mix (1/2) Cup Sugar, (1/2) Teaspoon Kosher Salt (or sea salt), and (2) Teaspoons of Cinnamon. Stir in the nuts until well coated.
Spread in Buttered dish (or buttered cookie sheet) and Bake for 1 hour, stirring approximately every 15 minutes.
NOTE: When I put the nuts in the oven, I started building a lens. By the time the nuts were done, my lens was done, too.
Hello Fellow Squids
Thank you for taking the time to visit Squid Soup. If the soup is bad, tell me. If the soup is good, tell others.
