Messing around with Squidoo lenses

I stumbled across Squidoo this morning and initially thought the concept of "lenses" was a bit derivative of Technorati's watchlists or del.icio.us' services. But I've been trying it and it's very different...and that's a good thing.

Some of the best names in tech are lensmaster over some intriguing topics (check out Chris Anderson's Long Tail lens or Joshua Porter's Web 2.0 Introduction lens), and the generated RSS feeds notify you everytime the main topic is updated with new links, not when a new article is published. So there's a quality control element that ensures you only get great stuff from people that really know about the topic.

It's a neat concept, and I'm enjoying it. You will, too - give it a shot.
