The Rise and Fall of Squidoo

Interesting post, Alex! I joined Wizzley in August 2012 after taking a (very) quick glance at 5 self-publishing platforms. Wizzley had a certain appeal, so I started writing here. I'm glad I made this choice.

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo

I did as you did, stopped doing much there when all the changes started and began exploring. The way the closing of squidoo was handled was so disappointing. I had saved all my pages a while back and did the same, opted out and am significantly ...
