There are lots of free site builders around. Geocities was one of the first, Freewebs (now called Webs) was has also been around along time. Recently there seems to be hundreds of them
Squidoo offers a cool site builder that is different than the rest. Actually, it looks less like a website than a blog. And it does not create a site in the traditional sense of alot of pages. Rather it creates free sites that are very long and are composed of modules.
But Squidoo has alot of functionality that no other site builder that I know of has:
* First and probably most important is that you can make money with Squidoo! Squidoo is not going to make anyone wealthy. But there are some people who make a significant part of their income from Squidoo.
* There is a strong community in Squidoo. If you are looking for online quality friends, Squidoo is a great place. Squidoo is a not a place where trouble making teenagers harrass each other. The people I have met through Squidoo are very good. Why the difference? Hard to explain. You just have to go there and see for yourself.
* Squidoo is fun. It is addictive. I get motivated to create with Squidoo. Is it the community? Is it the possibility to earn money? I dont know. But I find myself spend alot of time (too much time) on Squidoo.
Is it perfect? NO! Frankly there are several things I am not delighted about, but I dont talk about too much in the community. Squidoo crashes too often. I have lost lots of time waiting for Squidoo pages to publish, losing content that I have writen, having Squidoo just go off line for a while. It happens much more often than I would like. But hey, no one is perfect and you always struggle with those you love most. I keep going back. I am a Squidoo junkie.
I have created a Squdoo Blog called Valley Of the Giants
And these are some of my most important Squidoo lenses:
My Best Squidoo Site: Footed Pajamas
My Squidoo Site about Ugg Shoes
My Squidoo Site about Spanx
My Squidoo Site about Slippers
I have also created pages on other site builders with similar (but different) content
On Google Sites I have Squidoo Links
On Geocities I have Squidoo Links
On Wetpaint I have Link Experiment
On Squidoo I have Squidoo Link Experiment
