At the beginning of 2009, one of my resolutions for this year was to return to the Squidu forum – something I had neglected doing for some time.
I used to be pretty much a regular there, but because of other commitments and some increased negativity among the posts, I decided that my time would be better spent creating and updating my lenses, plus giving them a little promotion. For me, the Forum had lost some of its community spirit and, to be honest, I found solace in another venue where many Lensmasters hang out -Tagfoot.
But, I have been around Squidoo for over two years now, and as a Giant Squid, part of what I understand that title to mean is to give back to the community by way of sharing gathered knowledge of the site, and encouraging new users to excel at lens creation. To that end, I was excited to learn that I had been chosen as one of the new Giant Squid Greeters, which will satisfy both my need to get back to SquidU and my role as a Giant Squid.
All of this means that this old Squidoo bird will be hanging out a lot more (primarily) at the “Introduce Yourself” and “Critique Me” sections of the Forum, checking out the new Lensmasters and hopefully offering some helpful advice.
Oh! And if you come across any new lensmasters that show Giant Squid potential – let me know! 
My new lenses for 2009:
The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 – the annual Europe-wide song competition.
Isla Fisher – the star of ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’.
Hugh Dancy – Isla Fisher’s co-star.
The Fourth American Idol Judge, Kara DioGuardi, is Not Needed – A new Twttrstrm.
Matt Smith – the new Dr. Who.
