Squidoo launches ever.com into beta: Small businesses and web surfers invited to grab a free domain before it's too late
(PRLEAP.COM) http://best.thaifood.ever.com, http://worst.president.ever.com, http://best.lyrics.ever.com and a million other memorable dot com variations are available at http://www.ever.com . "The idea is simple," said Megan Casey, editor-in-chief at Squidoo. "We’re giving people a set of tools that let them build a simple page that is easy to promote, fun to use and spreads the word about a single idea."In the last six weeks, Squidoo has launched a number of vertical ‘front doors’. These include http://www.Squidbids.com, custom designed for eBay sellers, http://www.Squidwho.com, for anyone looking to profile a famous person (or themselves) and http://www.Squidvids.com, which lets video addicts make their own YouTube television channels.
Ever.com takes this further. Users pick a superlative from a list (including best, worst, phattest and a few dozen more). They add a noun or phrase, like President or Blog and the site asks for information and then automatically creates a page on that topic.
Working with Digimedia, Squidoo has taken a domain that was fallow and built a front door that will fill that domain with useful, human-run and profitable content. "Now that we’ve built this template, we have the ability to find other underused domains and let everyday people on the web to put them to good use," said Casey.
Squidoo pages (we call them lenses) can include RSS feeds, news feeds, Amazon links, YouTube videos, eBay auctions, CafePress inventory and more than 50 other types of information. By default, more than 50% of all revenue earned by the pages goes to charity, though users are able to change that setting and earn royalties for themselves instead.
Squidoo now hosts 250,000 lenses built by more than 100,000 different users.
