SquidWho: The Whos of Whoville
Seth and the gang at Squidoo have released a tres cool application.
SquidWho is a people-powered web-based "Who's Who." Type in a name of a person and the program will search web media sources to build a page of blog posts, videos, books, photos or what-have-you about the person. It'll even start a fan club. Then you can edit any of it for completeness.
Think of it as either an instantaneous bio page or fan kit in a box. Neat.
Even neater: Proceeds of ads on the pages go to charity.
Admittedly, it feels weird creating a page about myself, so how about a contest? The first person to build a complete page for either Ben or me that fills in all of the SquidWho profile fields will win an autographed book of their choice ("Citizen Marketers" or "Creating Customer Evangelists"). Post a comment here when you're done.
UPDATE: The 2 pages have been created for both me and Ben. Thanks for playing! Now go back to SquidWho and create a fan page for the really famous people in your life, like your mom. Or your dog.

Crowdsourcing your biography, eh? Could be dangerous . . .
I just finished creating a page for Ben at Squidoo. You can view it at http://www.squidoo.com/benmcconnell/
The SquidWho option is a great new facility. I created a "Who is.." lens and published it yesterday. It is a great way to integrate your Squidoo lenses and link them to your life stream. I think I overdid it a bit, but I had a lot of fun:
