My Squid Life

As I’ve mentioned before, I haven’t participated in social bookmarking/networking too much. Stumble Upon, Facebook, MySpace and the like haven’t really attracted me. I hate to be so short sighted but I’m just skeptical that I would see much increase in “business” although I might get a little traffic.

I am curious however about some of the more targeted social sites and may spend some time later this week exploring them. For instance, I have a handful of lenses devoted to products designed more for the elderly and would be interested in connected with that target population. I recently came across information about two social sites which are focused on boomers and beyond:  Thirdage.com and Eons.com

I’m hoping it will be fruitful as far as being able to provide some useful info and bookmarks as well as interacting to find out what the interests and needs are among that population. If it seems to be useful I may seek out other more targeted social sites. It would be nice to do more promoting that didn’t involve just writing articles upon articles.

In the past week I learned about several new Mixx.com communities and just yesterday evening when I got back home I found out about the Rock the Squid forum. I’ve submitted by Cameras for Kids and Fiero lenses and visited several others that were posted.  For any Squidoo lensmasters who haven’t seen it, I suggest paying the site a visit and signing up immediately.
