Almost the Best of Boing Boing

There’s still about a week left before the final deadline to enter Squidoo’s Boing Boing Challenge. I’d like to highlight some of the best entries so far — and encourage people to continue building their existing entries, as well as to get involved if you haven’t already. We’ve got some excellent contenders, and it’s not too late to make your own.

  • Marc Sirkin’s Fill up Your iPod lens focuses on the best mashups, podcasts, and other audio and video featured in Boing Boing.
  • Boing Boing Goes Body Art, a lens by Rachel Schwarz, collects the popular blog’s nods to body modification.
  • And Erin Banister’s Boing Boing Is Changing the World considers the impact that Boing Boing could have on things like war, DRM and banking.

Who knew that you could look at a single blog from so many different angles?

We encourage everyone who’s involved so far to continue polishing and refining their Boing Boing-related lenses. And if you’d like to enter a new lens yourself — Take the Boing Boing Challenge.

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
