Squidoo HQ announced the release of their next front door : Hey MonkeyBrain. This is a debate themed site where the magic build lenses are designed around two sides to an argument. I thought something like this might have been in the works, but the actual product turned out awesome! Mashable and Digg agree.

Sell My Lens is gaining some steam. Fluffanutta sold a set of lenses for over $100 this week. Pot Pie Girl’s post on her Squidoo Lensmaking for clients reminded me – If you have a service like that, feel free to post it as a classified ad on Sell My Lens!

New site on my radar -

Hurox (pronounced ‘who rocks’) – Could be very similar to Squidoo, entirely built on Ajax and VERY fast. Still in early Beta.

Promotion idea -

Dosh Dosh wrote an article last month with 40 of the highest quality social networking sites. As usual, it’s great link bait so I’m biting.

That’s all for this week – More Piratey Squidoo News next week…
