One thing that evolved after the beta testing I did together with the others in the "secret stealth mode", was the strong usability of Squidoo that I found very complimentary to a Blog - according to its promise, first delivered in the eBook of Seth Godin.
If a blog is the most dynamic of the current mediated info engines out there, there has been a need to have a more static (still enough dynamic to return to!), but equally simple publishing tool, now called "Lens". I proactively use Lenses in conjunction with blogposting as you have noticed. A cool trick is that you can add RSS Feeds, which I have used mostly to add this blog's RSS to it, but also a Technorati Buzz Tracker on "sustainability+branding" tags. (One of the founders and creators of the Lens Concept and Squidoo.com, the mentioned Seth Godin, has added a Lens on RSS as a topic. I discovered he created this RSS Lens beyond a "me-lens" - live as you learn and talk, huh?)
(I have some hunches and sketches jotted on how an eco-system of different information and communication tools and resources can be complimentary to each other, evolving, but I will use these resources and means in order to track results to Walk before the Talk on this. But I intend to present a hypothetical model on how they can interact, on "how to get your ideas developed and spread".)
I recommend some destinations if you take a visit;
- http://www.squidoo.com/browse/top_lenses to start browse somewhere - the Top 100 in so-called LensRank of soon 11 000. The Long Tail, Web 2.0, Moleskine Resources, Graphical Design, Visual Thinking (that eventually leads to another lens from the same author > Visual Mapping - some goodies there in that one!).
- http://www.squidoo.com/sustainopreneurship/ - mine of course ;). Some two more -
- http://www.squidoo.com/sustainabilitybranding/ - Branding for Sustainability, another one
- http://www.squidoo.com/sri/ - On Socially Responsible Investment
There are also a few devoted to different aspects of design. Surf around, and see if some other lenses of others and mine are movin'&shakin', and just let me know by adding a comment!

EDIT/NOTE [Jan 22, 2006]: A full overview of my lenses with different development grades - see http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/andersabrahamsson. I am prepared to speak professionally as well on all topics related, with abstracts on all lens topics found in this my lensmaster homepage.
