You Can Squidoo It!

The trouble with sharing your expertise with the world on the Internet tends to be that, even if you are an authority on your subject matter, to make a web page you usually need a lot of ancillary knowledge related to web design.

With Squidoo any registered member can create a web page by populating the page (or 'Lens' as they call it) with prefab modules and filling those modules with text, pictures, video, and a lot of other types of media. All of this with absolutely zero of knowledge any HTML or HTML editors. Squidoo levels the playing field, taking the ability to get content online out of the sole domain of web geeks.

That said, there are goodies here even for the web developer pro. With Squidoo already being well-known by Google, your pages are almost instantly indexed after publication. Even if you know HTML, creating pages with Squidoo is a cinch, and if you know little about computers a large community of Squidoo members are more than happy to help. And don't forget if your page is above average you get paid!

I've made a number of pages on many different topics:

My Internet HQ:

A guide to flight simulators:

My favorite movie:

Another movie I like:

A guide on researching movies:

My favorite TV show:

A guide on Windows Vista:

Squidoo is the brainchild of Seth Godin, entrepreneur and author of numerous business books. Godin has been running businesses since he was a child and has worked for such firms as Yahoo! As well as being its owner, he is an active participant
