Squidoo Privacy Policy Changes

There's been a ton of hub-bub recently all about the recent policy changes at Squidoo. Probably the most talked about part has been the new topics that will be now off limits. While these will get rid of a ton of the junk sites that may have been dragging Squidoo down, there's also the chance that some truly good lenses are going to be lost, as well. Especially as they are looking to strongly restrict certain topics like Diet: one where you can have a lot of legitimate lenses, but you can also attract a lot of spammers.

In theory, for giant squids these changes won't affect lenses that are already made since anyone who is a Giant Squid on Squidoo has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are legitimate and aren't spammers in any way, shape, or form. A lot of mis-information has been passed around about this recent change, but if you want to really get some great thoughts on the recent changes, check out PotPieGirl's post on the recent changes here:

She'll be able to explain things better than I will, and also has the ability to point you towards the actual policy changes where you can read about the changes for yourself as opposed to taking the word of people who may or may not know what they're talking about when it comes to the Squidoo policy changes or on freelancing for Squidoo in general.
