Squidoo Is Soon To Be No Longer - I'm Not Surprised, Are You?
Just heard the news that Squidoo will be closing it's doors very shortly. They are offering contributers the chance of moving their content to HubPages.
I'm not at all surprised, as I was one of the early members from 2008, and have not written a lens there for 9 months now.
In those days you got paid well and every month, but since Google slapped them last year, Squidoo has taken a long time in trying to clean up its act - they hosted such a lot of affiliate rubbish.
I felt I was writing useful and interesting content, but never earned as much as those offering useless tat on Amazon without ANY content. They have now paid their price! But there are so many genuine authors writing great stuff who have been left on the shelf.
Are you with Squidoo or HubPages at the moment?
What are your thoughts or experiences?

We are fortunate at WA to have a quality program full of great content with so many high quality members, let's treasure it!
When I could no longer keep my lenses from being demoted to WIP's, I gave up on them. I do feel for the people who were making money with them tough.
For me, this just confirms my argument that you're better off publish content on something you own.
