A lot of people have been asking me "What do I get for being a Giant Squid?" Well you've come to the right place! Here is a list of what Giants get, and we are adding new perks all the time...so don't miss out!
1. Access to our (secret) Giant Squids blog and RSS feed, full of first-looks at new features and insider tips.
2. A private email address to reach Megan about Lens of the Day submissions.
3. A Giant Squid badge on all your lenses. (And your bio/profile page too--coming soon).
4. Gold stars on all your published, featured lenses. Gold stars not only look nifty to your readers, they also give you a little LensRank boost.
5. Your shot at making The Giant Squids Top 100 list, a list of the top Giant lenses, sorted by LensRank.
6. A Custom Lens Template tool. This is so helpful when you are making a lot of lenses.
7. Did I mention first crack at our coolest new tools and features? For example, the Giants got to hear about HeyMonkeyBrain and Squidaholic .com days before the rest of Squidoo.
8. A special Dashbaord just for Giants.
9. A chance at being featured on the Giant Squid Community Showcase.
10. The power to nomintate! When it's time for the next round of new Giants to join the ranks Giants can nominate the people they think really deserve it.
11. No daily lens limits - You can make as many lenses a day as you want, and you can have as many unimproved lenses under construction as you need.
12. Greenlighting is now active - The SquidDon't spam filter is a thing of the past for Giants. Your trustworthy lenses will never be hassled by the spam filter again. The greenlighting has been activated but if you're a Giant and you find your lenses are still stuck in the filter, please email giants at squidoo.com so we can greenlight you forevermore.
