ANNOUNCEMENT: slashdot acquires scaredpoet.com
scaredpoet writes: In a surprise move, slashdot purchases the assets, content and distribution rights of scaredpoet.com for an undisclosed sum, and officially relaunches the site as slashpoet.com. The purchase was a bid to end the total mediocrity in writing and blogging content coming from the site. Apparently the website was giving the blogosphere a bad name with poor writing, late reporting, whenever-we-feel-like-it updating, and the scary thing was, a devoted base of people were actually reading the site!! The slashdot folks were worried that the term slashdotted might give way to “the scaredpoet effect,” where only a very mild number of visitors would come to your site, and referral traffic would would be, well, quite disappointing, really.

Good riddance to bad rubbish! It’s about time that self-aggrandized morons like scaredpoet.com get forced off the precious blogopshere. When will these mediocre bloggers learn that there is no place for them on the net?
