At the end, he mentioned this new company he&#8217;s involved with so I went,  signed up, claimed a page (they call them &#8220;lens&#8221;) and after reading the FAQ section, which said &#8220;a lens is one person&#8217;s (lensmaster&#8217;s) view on a topic he cares about. More specifically, a lens is a single web page filled with information and links that point to other web pages, to continually updated RSS feeds, or to relevant advertising. It&#8217;s a place to start, not finish,&#8221; I still didn&#8217;t totally get what the heck they were doing and what they were after.  I did however sign up to receive daily emails and now I get it.  I also love it.<br \/>\nA Squidoo Lens allows you to pull together information from tons of different places about a single topic you are interested in.  For instance, this lens on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squidoo.com\/spaceelevator\/\">Space Elevators<\/a> is absolutely fanscinating.  This lens on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squidoo.com\/cardboard_castle\/\">how to build huge cardboard castles<\/a> is pretty cool too &#8211; too bad I don&#8217;t have the space in my apartment!   I named my lens &#8220;Sevensquared&#8221; because I didn&#8217;t get it at first and now that I do, other than putting in info about the &#8220;Seventh Son of a Seventh Son&#8221; legend, I don&#8217;t know what to do with it.   This might be a blessing in disguise though as I really do need to jump start this graphic novel project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Squidoo is a new company I heard about from Seth Godin in his lecture to Google about the future of marketing.
