Do You Squidoo?

Squidoo have launched a website which allows users to populate “Lenses” with content of their choice. I’ve started my own Lens up called “Be Productive”.

Squidoo aims to provide both themselves and Lens Owners with profit via Google’s Adsense program (personally I think they should have gone for another Ad program due to the apparent “Ad-Blindness” it’s causing at the moment).

The weird thing is that you’re technically making a profit from others hard graft, for example, “Be Productive” lists one item from my own site, some links to Amazon books (from which I guess Squidoo gets the affiliate fees) and some RSS feeds I though others may find interesting.

So what’s the point?
