Tino Buntic’s What Do Bloggers Look Like is an interesting post.
Although we blog in isolation, we’re part of a larger blogging community.
Even if you choose to be a ‘deviant’ or ‘social outcast’, you have a ‘social outcast’ cliche too.

If you’ve been online for any amount of time, chances are you’ve heard of Squidoo in passing or even been to their site.

Squidoo splits its revenue with its “co-op” of lensmasters. 5% goes straight to charity, first. Then 50% goes to the lensmasters. 45% goes to Squidoo. The site is estimating that nearly half of all the lensmasters on the site are donating their royalties to any of 45 featured charities, ranging from NPR and The American Heart Association to smaller organizations like Chimp Haven and Planet Gumbo.
