Squidcasting: A Cool New Tool on Squidoo

I like seeing a good Squidoo lens, but sometimes I like keeping an eye on lensmasters who churn out consistently good or interesting content. I’m curious to know what they’re up to, and it’s been bothering me that I couldn’t “favorite” lensmasters as well as individual lenses.

Well, that’s changed now! Squidoo has made it possible for lensmasters to have their own fan clubs.  Whenever you build a lens or update one, you can send announcements to everyone who decided to join your fan club. This feature is called “Squidcasting.” You could also use Squidcasting to announce contest winners, ask for assistance on a project, and anything else you can think of.

Another great feature is that you can now view and approve pending comments straight from your dashboard. So, if different people comment on your duels and guestbooks, you won’t have to visit each lens to approve them.

I predict that Squidcasting will become a valuable networking tool on Squidoo. You can read more about it on the official SquidBlog.
