Squidoo - a new way to find information

Recently, I was made aware of an interesting beta site by George Brymer at the Vital Integrities Blog. The site is called Squidoo.  Squidoo is a site where lenses are created by members known as Lensmasters. Anyone can build a lens on a desired topic which they are passionate about. The lenses facilitate finding information on a range of topics in a very fast and efficient manner. The lenses permit the Lensmasters to “spread their ideas, get recognized for their expertise, and send more traffic to their Web sites and blogs”.  After spending just a little time splashing around on the site, I feel it has promise and permits a user to locate and organize information quickly and efficiently, and in a very innovative manner.  For more information, go to:  FAQ and About.
