We're Addicted to Squidoo

 

You know who you are. You family members roll their eyes whenever you mention Squidoo. Their eyes glaze over at the dinner table as you begin to tell them what you learned today during research for your latest lens. At a certain point, all Squiddicts have to succumb to the urge and build a lens like this one. My time has come.

Why is Squidoo So Addictive? 

Squidoo gives me an opportunity to express my creativity and opinions. I love building lenses and watching them come together into a coherent message.

I read other lenses and learn about things that I didn't even know exist. The range of knowledge at Squidoo is phenomenal! I can browse the Top 100 on any subject and find new and interesting topics every time.

I've made some wonderful friends here. I know they're not friends in the traditional sense, but they tend to understand my Squidness because they are all tentacled, too. This group has provided support for its members through some amazing times, both good and bad.

Squidoo is a comfortable place for me, and it came to me at just a time when I really needed it.

Hmmm... I started with a blogging addiction. Then, I started creating websites, writing articles and now landed in Squidoo. I think my laptop must be the most used electronic gadget in my home, beating even the TV. :)
