"Why does an innocuous site like this get an adult splash page?
Answer: Squidoo has become an old maid and has not only kicked off the X-rated sites but anything else with a pulse.
This lens attempts to categorize the many ways people go about mate hunting, especially what criteria people use.
If you are single, this might be worth a visit. And if you don't see your catgegory, tell them since they'll probably add it.

"Guide to Immortality"
This Squidoo lens is trying to get away from the boring approach that most immortalist and life extensionist site take: namely that of take a lot of pills and supplements. If you're going to live forever, it ought to be interesting.
It is true that you have to lay down some foundations like the nuts and bolts of staying alive when their are wars, terrorists, random crime, automobile accidents, and the plane you are on can crash. This lens begins to address some of these issues but it badly needs participation. The problem is basic: young people have the energy but not the interest since they think they're going to live forever anyway (without doing anything to make sure that happens) and old people see the need to do something but have let their health run down.
It will be interesting to see how this site progresses and what it will be like in two years from now.

Sarah Connor Chronicles Fan-made Videos Project
From the people who brought you the "Guide to the Sarah Connor Chronicles" comes a second separate lens for fans who want to makes their own episoes since Fox TV and Warner Brothers Television and Halcyon Company can't seem to syndicate this show or put it out in magazine form.
Magazine form would be straight-to-DVD's that people could subscribe to like pay TV or cable. After a full third season, people could buy the compilation of the whole Third Season in a set. Oh, I almost forgot, I was supposed to be reviewing this site. It is a noble effort by the fans. Let us see what befalls them:

Guide to the Sarah Connor Chronicles
There are several websites dedicated to the now defunct (cancelled) Fox TV show "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Many have been closed or abandoned after the cancellation. This site however is still maintained and has actually increased in both size (which makes it slow-loading) and readership. Not enough readership however for certain departments and sections (called modules) within it to really flourish. I am thinking of the Guestbook, Rumor Mill, News, Convention, Connoisseur, and Fashion Sections in particular.
It would be a hoot if the Wedding and RPG sections took off also. Since the characters in SCC (Sarah Connor Chronicles) wore street clothes just like you and me, the Cosplay section seems overreaching a bit but, for all I know, the lens is read in Japan where that is big. There is an international section in this "Guide to the Sarah Connor Chronicles" and I know for a fact that there are lots of fans of the show in other countries.

Reality Checks and Balances
In the "Why didn't I think of that?" department, I report Emeraldstone's "Reality Checks and Balances" blog post.
To answer the question, why didn't I think of that, the answer is that I'm a newbie and no one reads my blogs so the thought of inviting others to share their blogs or links would seem pointless to me.
With millions and millions of blogs out there, I suppose the factors are luck, persistence, and being interesting.
