Ranked #4,116 in Entertainment, #114,792 overall
Giant Squid Lensmaster Perks
1. Access to our (secret) Giant Squids blog, full of first-looks at new features and insider tips.
2. A private email address to reach Megan about Lens of the Day submissions.
3. A Giant Squid shield automatically added to all their lenses.
4. Gold stars on all of their published, featured lenses. Gold stars not only look nifty to your readers, they also give your lenses a little
added LensRank boost. Learn more about badges and stars here.
5. A shot at making the Giant Squids Top 100 List, a list of the top Giant lenses, sorted by LensRank.
6. A Custom Lens Template Tool for superfast lensmaking.
7. First crack at Squidoo's coolest new tools and features.
For example, the Giants got to hear about HeyMonkeyBrain, the new lens layouts, Squidaholic.com and the new dashboard days before the rest of Squidoo. They even helped test some of it.
8. A special Lensmaster dashboard just for Giants.
9. A chance at being featured on the Giant Squid Community Showcase.
10. When it's time for the next round of new Giants to join the ranks they can nominate the people they think really deserve it.
11. No daily lens limits - You can make as many lenses a day as you want, and you can have as many unimproved lenses under construction as you need.
12. Greenlighting is now active - The SquidDon't spam filter is a thing of the past for Giants. Your trustworthy lenses will never be hassled by the spam filter again. The greenlighting has been activated but if you're a Giant and you find your lenses are still stuck in the filter, please email giants at squidoo.com so we can greenlight you forevermore.

- What I hope for: that some day giants will not have to look at the Forum Rules Announcement at the head of every post in the forum. I'm tired of having to scroll past it to see if my new page has loaded!

- A couple of thoughts -- the ability to add a module to a number of lenses by simply clicking on a check box next to each lens on the dashboard. The ability to turn on/off [toggle] discovery and/or TOC on all lenses from the dashboard. The ability from our dashboard to manage different profiles -- the master lensmaster profile and profiles for all lenses -- by templates; i.e., monkeybrain, squidlit, etc. The different badge for Giant Squid 100 Club.

- I like all of the perks! Greenlighting is pretty nice, though. My 'What's New Pussycat?' lyrics lens was caught in the SquidDon't spam filter for a week!

- Giant squid perks I already enjoy:
I love the giant templates. Recently added: the option to squidcast from brandnew lenses. Also wonderful.

- This is great. I never see the front page since I go directly to my dashboard, so that is a non-issue to me. I would like to see more meetings of Giants - to discuss plans, new ideas, etc -- like the meetings we had before we became Giants.

- Three ideas:
Email the giant squid's lensography or maybe their top 5 lenses, to the whole membership and for that day and for the next 24-48 hours, all income goes to support SquidU.
An internet radio interview for each giant squid - I can arange that with Judyth Piazza on "The American Perspective"
A Giant Squid weekend conference somewhere - or online if that would be too expensive/too hard to organize.

- AGain, I 'm not a giant yet, But I think I would love the little boost in lensrank, the special dashboard and of course the badge. Well the frontpage of squidoo doesn't upset me either. Oh heck, I love them all.
