The Spotted Squid

Squidoo is a community where people called Lensmasters create single web-pages that resemble a blog. The advantages of participating in Squidoo include the way the community attracts a diverse membership. It doesn’t take long to discover that the community revolves around people who have common interests forming niche categories. For example, you can find work at home moms, small business owners, artisans, writers, photographers, and multi-level marketers to name a few of those groups. If you’d like to join the community and network with us go here.

The beauty of Squidoo becomes more obvious when you start following the users out of the Squidoo site and into other communities on the web. When you do, you’ll see the strategies they use to promote their work. They gather in places like Twitter, Facebook, and Digg or Stumble Upon. When the need arises, they also form small networks using sites like Ning or blogging platforms like WordpressMU.

Because the levels of skill in using technology of Squidoo membership are so varied, it is very interesting to participate in the ongoing discussions about how socal networking and social media are evolving. While they search out ways of using these tools to promote their work, it is common for Squidoo lensmasters to write about and teach others how to use them.

The Spotted Squid is a blog about the lensmasters, their work, the tools they use, and how the tools are being adapted to meet the needs of their craft and the community. The Spotted Squid reports on which Squidoo Lensmasters are doing what types of work and where you can find it. A by product of the research is the Spotted Squid Fan Page on Facebook where Squids can post links to their work.

Follow this blog to learn more about how social networking can help you achieve your goals.

Professional Networks

Members of social networks like Squidoo, Facebook, and Ning use them in many ways. Uses fall into three broad categories. Individuals use them for sharing personal interests with friends. Others use them for small business or professional purposes. Some people use them for both.
Corporate or enterprise use of social networks is a third class of use many social networks occupy. LinkedIn is one such social site.

As the demand for quality, professional uses of these social network sites grows, the number of small online communities also grows. One example is Professional Squids on Ning. A small group of people who use Squidoo for both personal and professional purposes have gathered there to share tips and tricks about how to apply sophisticated business methods using social media.
If you use Squidoo for your business, you’re likely to benefit from our discussions. Stop by for a visit. It’s one of my favorite places to learn and share.

Nintendo Wii Games

Keywords are an essential strategy for marketing your product or service online. This is true if you’re a small business or a large corporation. Nintendo is no exception. Since the Wii was released, fans of Nintendo games like the Rayman Raving Rabbids Go Home family game have scoured the web looking for information.
Online marketers optimize their web pages by using keywords. Tools like the Google Keyword finder allow you to research Google data to identify the terms (keywords) consumers use to search for product reviews and price comparisons.

Using the right combination of keywords for your product can make it easier for consumers to find your website and your products! It’s important to experiment by combining different keywords in your publications to see what types of results each combination brings.
You can read about one such experiment at Squidlog.net/Interlochencorners. It describes a strategy for targeting a market niche using one such keyword combination.

2010 Winter Olympics

Inukshuks are a symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics. You can find them in nature along side roads and trails as markers to help you navigate. They are similar to cairns, locations where people cache items they know they will need when traveling past the same spot in the future. Usually, Inukshuks do not mark a cache of food or supplies though.
Both Inukshuks and cairns are stacked stones. What makes an Inukshuk distinct from a cairn is its purpose.

An Inukshuk is a symbol of humanity. It expresses the nature of the human spirit. For more information, visit All About Inukshuks, a Squidoo Lens.

Social Psychologist Albert Bandura explains the way people learn from their peers and leaders. The principles from his Social Learning Theory are often discussed as “role modeling.” Unfortunately, many of the valuable concepts he defines are left out of the discussion. Web-designers, entrepreneurs, and online businesses can apply these principles by thinking about their social networks as peer environments. They may even draw on analogies derived from family and classroom environments.
