   Interesting. I created one:

   One unfortunate aspect is all of the advertising throughout the “lens” — in fact, right at the top of my page is a Google ad for a competing Realtor in my market.

   Ah, the ubiquitous Google ads. Is there an option to pay Squidoo to have the ads removed? How long did it take you to set it up?

   Not too long — 10 minutes maybe, and then I fiddled around with it a bit. Squidoo is rather interesting — do they have a lot of traffic? I haven’t heard anyone reference it in casual conversation!?

   I set one up too for Arlington real estate this afternoon based on that article I pulled from bloodhound this morning. I’d been meaning to create a lens for the last 6 months. Couldn’t figure out how to get images in the body. Don’t understand it completely yet. Want to integrate it into flickr and facebook (when I get that redone and started over after making the mistake of not keeping separate a personal and a professional profile). So I haven’t used Facebook at all due to how I didn’t want to let all my personal stuff (groups and interests) be out there in my public profile.

   I noticed james boyer commented on a post, Ben. That’s because you’re on eric bramlett’s dofollow list which got VARBuzz some attention. Realtors from other states were impressed with VAR compared with their own associations….

   I just wish we could get rid of the old lockboxes. One reason I got a smartphone was to use it as my supra key like they do in other markets. I don’t know if VAR has any say on that….
