SQUIDOO

I just found Squidoo. It's a site where everyone can share their expertise on different subjects - and get to keep 50% of the ad revenue. That's right - Squidoo shares with you. It's like a co-op. I have a few lenses (Squidoo's word for pages) already up. They are here:

So far, it's been fun to do the lenses, and I plan to add more. If you join Squidoo here, I will get a $5 bonus later, and so will you.
