And here I thought I was special.
Evidently my previous article was “worthy” enough to get a pingback from “Delete Blog.”
At first I thought, wow, my first ever pingback (I think). Then I thought, “Oh that’s right! Successful bloggers use the success of other bloggers to promote their blogging!”
That’s when I knew Delete Blog must be on crack. I furthered verified this by seeing that for the data of November 12 alone there were 100+ posts, November 11 (the day I got the pingback) was similar.
Then I decided to check out a few and some of them are completely horrid, such as:

Which leads to:

You may notice that it is a blog that without JavaScript is completely devoid of content. After allowing script I see that it is a “cry for help” post.
How in the hell did that make it to the front page of a “website” that “collects the best and most interesting news, blogs, forum and articles from around the world about recent topics?”
For that matter, how the hell did my post about my kids and I make it to the front page on November, 11th?
Here’s one that I found via their “Featured Articles” widget:

Looks like the editor-in-chief has been stealing material from SiteProNews, Squidoo and Top Blogging — and not even doing a good job of it either.
Unless I’m mistaken, Delete Blog you are useless.
