No catch, really!

Help Squidoo give away $80K by October 15. Just go to this website, http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-charity-giveaway, and pick your favorite. Your vote gives your charity $2, courtesy of Squidoo.

According to their website, Squidoo "is a hand-built collection of half a million pages built by people just like you. Squidoo is about finding people when you care what they know instead of who they know. And Squidoo raises big money for charity every single day by donating money from the ads and links you see on every page. "

Three or four facts
1. Squidoo has more than 700,000 hand built pages.
2. Squidoo has been reviewed by the New York Times, Mashable, BoingBoing and sites and papers around the world.
3. We are one of the 300 most popular websites in the US.4. We generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual royalties to charities and to our users.

What about the money?
Squidoo makes money from ads and affiliate links. We give 5% of what we earn, right off the top, to charity. We keep 45% to cover our overhead and stuff. That leaves 50%. That goes to charity or to the people who build the pages. And we leave it up to you to choose one or the other. It's that simple. You can earn a dollar, a nickel or a dime at a time for your favorite cause or for you. Did we mention that Squidoo is free? Always has been.
