I was curious to see what there was for squidoo pages in this neck of Canada. For those of you unfamiliar with Squidoo, it’s  a brainchild of marketing guru, Seth Godin.

From wikipedia;

Squidoo is a network of user-generated lenses –single pages that highlights one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise. Lenses can be about anything, such as ideas, people or places, hobbies and sports, pets or products, philosophy, and politics. Lenses aren’t primarily intended to hold content; more emphasis is placed on recommending and then pointing to content on the web. Annotation and organization and personalization delivers context and meaning.

Squidoo has often been used by niche marketers and some have been very sucessful with earning revenue. However with Squidoo on the end of a google slap, it’s been much harder for sites to move up in google rankings.  

What I like about Squidoo is that it is a hub of resources. And for a tourism venue site like some of the ones below, it is a very fast way to have a good looking site with multiple media resources.

I’m VERY surprised that I didn’t find a lense on unusual Newfoundland place names. With names like Dildo, Come-by-Chance, Blow-me-down and more you would think that would make for an interesting lense.

A few lenses from ’round here.
