I recently received this email. My answer is simple: NO WAY.
It’s Anthony from DetentionSlip.org. We’ve had a crazy month or so, being the first education site to ever make the TIME MAGAZINE Top 25 Blogs List for 2009. We also are now in first place over at Bloggers Choice Awards, and we are in the #1 position for Education blogs at Alltop.com
I’m actually not writing to brag about our recent success — I was writing to see if you’d be interested in sharing in our new found glow. Our traffic has been crazy and we have some national syndication deals going on right now. We are hoping we can help you get some exposure, and you can help us roll out a new free service.
We just developed a new widget, that streams the headlines in real time from our site — no ads, pop-ups or spam, just headlines. It’s free to use, and right now, we are giving the first 10 education sites who features our widget on their main page 1 month of PREMIUM ads on the DetentionSlip.org FOR FREE.

I received the same email (I suspect many edubloggers did) and, as with similar junk solicitations, usually I just hit delete and move on.However, with this one I first went to look at their site and found just one negative, not to mention trivial, education story after another. It’s too bad crap like that rises to the top of any site much less one that’s supposed to represent the best of the web.It seems they don’t need my help and they won’t get it.
