Who Are You?

whoareyouWhat makes you unique?

Do you have a lens that gives people a more vivid introduction to who you are than what they find on your profile page?

We call these types of lenses “About Me” lenses and they’re fun to make and really interesting to read.

About Me lenses don’t necessarily have to tell everything about you.  In fact, I think they’re better when they ‘re focused on one small aspect of who you are based solely on your hobby, occupation, lifestyle, or any number of other things like your favorite music, movie or travel destination.

If you’ve created an “About Me” lens, please feel free to share it here in the comments section.  And if you don’t have one yet, why not get to work on one now?

Here’s a few examples of great “About Me” lenses.  Enjoy!

To be honest, I don’t know why I’m doing this – publicly announcing things that scare me. What’s the point, really? Writing about my fears won’t make them go away and neither has the fact that I’ve faced them all on…

    I love “About Me” lenses! I think they are a great way to get to know a lensmaster a bit more personally and I like to know the person behind the articles. I was honored when my own About Me lens was awarded with my very first Squidoo Purple Star: http://www.squidoo.com/ruthi

    How wonderful to be featured here. Thank you! I must say that “About Me” lenses are some of my very favorites of all the Squidoo web pages. I absolutely love learning more about my Squid friends and colleagues. I hope everyone decides to craft a unique portrait lens that unveils aspects of what makes them so awesome. Okay, that’s my challenge to everyone who reads this. If you craft it, I will visit.

    I have done a “portrait” page (great name for it): http://www.squidoo.com/resabi-lensography I also do the occasional page that focuses on a specific experience: [squidoo prefix]squirrels-in-the-attic is one; [squidoo prefix]good-intentions-gone-bad is another.

    I enjoy reading the “About Me” lenses, too. After reading a lens that I really enjoy, it is always fun to find an “About Me” lens by the lensmaster. My “About Me” lens is: http://www.squidoo.com/vickisims

    Thanks for finding and sharing this selection of great “About Me” lenses!

    Nearly every lens I’ve written draws part of the picture of who I am but my most painful to write “About Me” lens has also been my most successful lens to date – http://www.squidoo.com/Homeless-Experiences

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/paperfacets paperfacets

    This long winded lens “About Me” has earned 12 cents. I fixed the pictures and some day it will get a rewording, but never a deletion. http://www.squidoo.com/my_hobby

    I talk about my experience with martial arts in My Martial Arts Lensography. I started in my mid 30s mostly to encourage my son and have quality time together. As a kid I used to dream of being a Blackbelt, but never had an opportunity to take martial arts.

    As a Dad my heart ached when my son was getting picked on in Elementary School. The summer before Middle School we signed him up, and about a week into it I realized I should be out there on the mat with him.

    What a HUGE difference martial arts made in his life! He was never picked on again. Ever. It’s not that he even had to defend himself, it’s just that he gained confidence in himself and it showed up in his bearing.

    By High School he was quite the leader, and was well liked and respected. We both became Blackbelts although it took me about a year and a half longer than him. There was no way I was gonna quit. What kind of example would that have been for my son?

    Great idea featuring these “about me” lenses. You learn so much about people by what they write. I did one a while ago, “I’m the resident Extrovert” check it out if you like…….great reading these!

    About me lens are so fun. I like the idea of doing a more focused one. I already have a basic overview one –> http://www.squidoo.com/AlishaV

    Wow, that was fun! I’ve probably written way too much and Amazon modules aren’t working for me this evening but I really had a great time writing this. I hope you don’t think it’s too daft!

    My first Rocket Squid lens was an “about me” lens. It taught me to write from the heart and write about what I really know about. Thanks for that!

    I love lenses like this! I’ve written a more generic About Me but you’re right, the ones that give a peek into one aspect of a life are so fun. My lens about my experiences with Asperger’s is one of the lenses I’m proudest of for that very reason. I like to think that it’s not only an interesting read, but an enlightening one. http://www.squidoo.com/my-life-with-aspergers

    Great “about me” lenses. All the list are unique, personalized and inspiring!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Jasonrafeal22 Jasonrafeal22

    I think this is an interesting page, given the fact that you can never really know a person. Seeing as how we are constantly evolving and changing.

    This lens isn’t specifically in the about me category, but it features me and my family, giving my followers a glimpse into the real life of squidoopets aka Darcie French http://www.squidoo.com/rockos-family-diner

    Since there is part of me in every lens I write and I have very few that are in the “About me” topic Cat. Does that count? Case in point is I put this one in ‘aging’ as I wanted to be an encouragement to those facing heart surgery – http://www.squidoo.com/openheartsurgery – it is about me

    Yes, i guess you could call my lens an ‘About me’ lens. i’m focusing on a slice of my life which is focusing on one narrow area: my life where machine and me intersect. i am so pleased with how much my health has improved since i began using the NutriBullet, i’ve found myself telling all of my friends, and now i’m telling you! Amazing, here i am at 3:00 in the morning telling more people, you that is, about the NutriBullet! What a gift.

    To get the full story, i guess you will have to check out my lens, but suffice it to say, thanks to the NutriBullet i have hair growing on my head where i haven’t had hair growing in decades! And at my age, usually the only place where new hair grows is in my nostrils and ears! :0)

    I do have one! I have found it convenient, more than once, to be able to refer a person to my “resume” page so that they can get links to a whole lot of my writing all in one place. It’s a bit of work, but a very good investment of time! Mine is at http://www.squidoo.com/myexpertise

    I also have an “About Me’ lens. I wrote it following a Squidoo challenge and I may say that writing it was a good experience for myself. It helped me to better clarify the significance of some experiences in my life. I hope it could be an interesting reading for others too… http://www.squidoo.com/i-hate-9-to-5
