Will Squidoo Kill Your Company’s Shot at (Free) Feel-Good PR on Twitter? | Fast Company

Today Squidoo founder Seth Godin announced that his company would begin launching websites for major companies that collect social buzz–good and bad–from around the Web. In his blog, Godin says that these “conversations” are already happening, so Squidoo is simply going to funnel them into one aggregate spot. That lets any customer or company see what the buzz is around Brand X. But for companies to get on the page and respond, it will cost them money. Is this fair to companies? More importantly, is it good for customers? (Below, one such page for In-and-Out Burger.)

APLINK – How does this effect companies like http://www.brandtology.com ? Their entire business model is based on monitoring online conversations about brands.

NEWSFLASH! Squidoo bans X-Rated content, PORN and SPAM

“99% of you won’t even notice any difference

If you’re making great, unique, useful, content-filled lenses, I’m betting you won’t have any trouble with these policies.” Billboard from Squidoo Management

via NEWSFLASH! A Squidoo Policy Update.

If only this effects 1% of the Squidoo population then it’s quite an amazing way of let users know of the the new polocies.

Excerpt from the Overview…

When Seth, Corey, Gil and I started creating Squidoo in 2005, we had a vision of openness, creativity, authenticity and generosity that has guided the Squidoo publishing platform, our company and our community to much success.

A few years later, as the number of lenses and people on our site have grown, we believe it’s a good time to describe and update Squidoo’s policies that support our founding principles.

That’s what this overview lens is for. It’s an official supplement to our Terms of Service. It’s an effort to promote clarity about what is and isn’t acceptable on Squidoo, in terms of content and behavior.

Most important, it’s a set of guidelines that should help you navigate and make the best of this powerful platform we’ve all created together.
