Linchpin:
Our first bit of good news is that Seth Godin’s newest book Linchpin: Are you Indispensable? was released this week and with it came a fun new Squidoo co-brand template that you can use to honor the Linchpin people in your life.
See an example that I made HERE

We received some good news from Flowski:
I have been working on a new website/blog to compliment my success in the gift ideas niche on Squidoo, Gifts and Ideas Blog , and as soon as I’m done dotting the T’s and crossing the I’s there I’m going to touch up old lenses and churn out some nice new Squidoo’s to tie into it.
You know we were on the road all last summer, then when we settled back down in Tahoe, and that Christmas lens of mine started blasting off. Then it was all I could do to keep up with it. 20,000 hits a day is more responsibility than I ever imagined, I actually felt great pressure to keep it perfect. I had to work on that lens literally constantly, replacing sold out products, rotating items not selling, trying to keep up with Gil and his editor switch over and back again etc… I bet it was updated at least 100 times a day, Google cached it every couple of hours. In fact some more good news, it’s still like #3 for “best gifts” on Google and my green gifts is #4 on Google just below it. WOW I’m #3&4 on Google for best gifts below gifts.com!!! – how cool is that? Squidoo is so amazing…

This good news was sent in by luvmyludwig who is helping a friend spread some love to Haiti:
As you might know, a group of Zazzlers united trying to make a difference and help unfortunate people on Haiti – we created a store which donates all of it’s earning to Hope for Haiti and Zazzle.com is matching it’s earning by donating dollar for dollar! Yay! 
What I would like to ask you is to help us spread the word!
If you could share a link to the lens: Message of Love – Hearts 4 Haiti
Or directly to the store: Hearts for Haiti to your friends, relatives, etc. or blog about it, or help in any other way, it would be great!
And you know – every little bit helps!
Have a great day!

From GramaBarb:
I am so excited about my good news that I created a new lens to feature it. It is all explained here:
2010 Visualization Becomes Reality
I will be taking a photo a day for the year 2010 to support my daughter-in-law in her Weekend Walk to End Women’s Cancers. I thought I would be doing it alone but I thought I would invite others if they want to join me. I am thrilled to be joined by others.
Others supporting this charity and “running” a photo marathon with me is very good news! They are sharing some awesome pictures on RedGage.

From Ramkitten:
I published my “Himalaya Rescue Dog Squad Nepal Book Project” fundraising page on Kickstarter today at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deb/the-himalaya-rescue-dog-squad-nepal-book-project and just got my first pledge, which was really exciting for me. I’ll be spending three months in Nepal, doing research for a book I’ll be writing about the only Search & Rescue team in the country and the many lives they’ve touched. I’ve written a lens about this as well: My Adventure in Nepal: The Himalaya Rescue Dog Squad

From Clouda9
I have a couple of things brewing for the Squidoo Community, loving that your are giving us a chance to shout out! Thank you.
* Lens O’Month Give Away Check Squid Report on the 2nd of each month to let me (clouda9) know how you’ll take care of the lens. Someone will get the lens no strings attached. Inspired by the holiday Giants Forum discussions.
*Squidoo Chefmasters Chopped Challenge The opening challenge was posted on 01/03/2010 and runs for two weeks (new challenges are posted every Sunday). If you have a recipe with tomato sauce, pasta, and shredded cheese…please head in and add it. If you have no clue how to even boil water we’d love to have you add a recipe that is a family favorite or stand on the sidelines to cheer us on. Read more about the challenges on the blog.
