			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m excited that Squidoo is taking the effort to change their groups and make them better. Here’s Kimberly’s original post with the new group guidelines: <a href="http://www.squidu.com/blog/2009/04/08/making-groups-great/"><strong>Making Groups Great Do You Have What It Takes?</strong></a></p>
<p>I posted this in the Squidoo Forums, but I wanted to reprint it here:</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be glad to answer any questions I can (from anyone), and any questions I can&#8217;t I&#8217;ll direct to Kimberly. I don&#8217;t think Squidoo HQ is interested in closing down everyone&#8217;s group, I think they just want to clean up the spammy groups that don&#8217;t really serve a purpose except to spam their own spammy links out there in one more way (groups with only their own lenses on the group page, groups that don&#8217;t even have a group page set up, groups that are set to let everyone in and never update their group page, abandoned groups) . </p>
<p>I would say most lensmasters who are visiting here care enough about their groups, and take care of them enough that they don&#8217;t need to worry about their groups disappearing.</p>
<p>Making the cut for the top 100 and the extra prize may take a little extra effort&#8230;but I love a challenge, and I think most lensmasters here do too:-) I need to work on my own groups to get them up to snuff.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m working on a new lens to help lensmasters work on their group. It&#8217;s not done yet (I don&#8217;t even think it&#8217;s ranked yet, but you&#8217;re more than welcome to stop by and let me know if it helps, and give me some feedback on anything else you&#8217;d like to see there:-) </p>

<p>If you have questions, feel free to leave a comment here, contact me through the contact form at Squidoo, or leave a comment on one of my groups mentor lenses. I’ll get back to you with an answer, and if I can’t answer I’ll direct you to Kimberly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m playing with Squidoo&#8217;s cool new Twitter application <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/twttrstrm/hq"><strong>TWTTRSTRM</strong></a><strong> (TwitterStorm). </strong></p>
<p>My first attempt? So, what&#8217;s your <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/party-tips"><strong>favorite party planning tip, or idea</strong></a>? Please feel free to share. I&#8217;m still working on the lens, I ran out of play time tonight, so I&#8217;ll have to work on it a little more tomorrow. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the scoop:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/twttrstrm/hq"><strong>TWTTRSTRM</strong></a> is a very cool new <strong>Squidoo</strong> application that lets you ask a question, or make a statement. </p>
<p>From Squidoo:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is a tool that helps you to “Ask a question of your Twitter followers and easily gather all their answers in one spot.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<ol>
<li>Simply ask a question</li>
<li>Enter your Twitter ID</li>
<li>Create a tracker keyword</li>
<li>Pick a category, and a tag</li>
<li>Build your TWTTRSTRM, which is a Squidoo lens that hosts the conversation.</li>
</ol>
<p>Very cool! Have you made your own <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/twttrstrm/hq"><strong>TWTTRSTRM</strong></a> yet? If you have feel free to add a link in the comment section.</p>

Two of my favorite things are blogging and creating Squidoo lenses. This blog combines the best of both worlds. I started a <a href="http://squidoo-it-all.blogspot.com/" title="Squidoo Fun" target="_blank">little Squidoo blog</a> in blogger last summer while I was interning for Squidoo, but got busy with my other blogs this fall and stopped posting there. Here&#8217;s a photo on a bad hair day.</p>
<p>The problem? I see all this great Squidoo talk going on and I want to be a part of it! I want to get in on the action. I&#8217;ve had a great time commenting on other Squidooer&#8217;s blogs, but it&#8217;s just not the same. So this blog is like an extension of the blog I started last summer.. only bigger and better.</p>
<p>I hope to cover some of my favorite blogging, and lensmaking subjects. I&#8217;m serving as a Squid Angel right now so I hope to bring you some of the great lenses I stumble across. I&#8217;d also like to share some of my lensmastering tips, and let you know what other bloggers are saying about Squidoo.</p>
<p>Above all I just want to have fun, and interact with other Squidoo members.</p>
