Squidoo has been around since early 2006... it's the fastest-growing philanthropy co-op in the online world. Even more important to you, it's an easy way to build a directory of your blog or your corporate website.

You can use a Squidoo lens to highlight your expertise, generate new business for your freelance gig and raise money for charity at the same time.
