[rant mode on] Is Squidoo the worst website in history?

OK, perhaps not as bad as MySpace... but they combine the horrible support of Yahoo and Facebook with a bewildering layout that seems designed for 14 year old girls whacked out on Mountain Dew and Skittles.

Full of nauseating, "cutesy" terms that have little to no semblence of the real world functions the add on's would perform.

Full of impossible to find mystery objects euphemistically called "modules" that are as easy to find as a green leprechaun in an emerald forest.

Ruled over by a confusing system that calls your completed work a "work in progress" and will change your status quicker that a middle school girl with a crush.

Did i mention the crappy support... nothing like having to register for a SEPARATE "support" site that then offers screen shots from 2009 and a completely different looking website!

I'm thoroughly convinced that Squidoo is either a massive project by the communist Chines to suck productivity out of us, or it's some sort of elaborate fraud designed solely to drive peopel to use search engines in a desperate bid to find reasonably priced Valium or Zanex.

Then there's the matter of the name. WTF is a squidoo? is that a squid poop??

-and how is it pronounced?? Squid - doo.. like a SeaDoo jetski??

or is it Squid- OH??

I think it's named after a mythical creature that would lure sailors to their doom and then thrust a hard beak into their nether regions and suck their soul out of their body.


If link building is gonna be like this, I'm gonna fire up the old van and call that preppy guy with the ascot and his stoner buddy with the big dog and go back to solving mysteries as we travel the backroads in the van.
