Is it just me, or does the Hub of the Day sometimes seem a bit underwhelming, mediocre, amateurish..
Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning - that happens. And I'm not saying that Stephanie's hub is bad at all - it's cute. But, this is the best we've got? One odd craft after another as Hubpages 'best'? It sure seems like there are alot of them, anyway. No offense crafters - I heart crafting & crochet, myself.
Perhaps our Hub Overlords are recognizing the value of attracting more the Pinterest crowd to HubPages. Crafty hubs are oh, so pinnable!
Rest assured, it's not just you. Sometimes the choices for HoTD are top notch and other times, not so much. I'd like to see a link for users to submit hubs to be considered as Hub of The Day. I'm sure we've all read fantastic hubs that would be great candidates for this prestigious award.
I'm reminded of the news channels on TV that run their lead story about a football coach quitting or a lemonade stand. Are you kidding me? With all that's going on in the world, is this really the top news? Perhaps the choices have a lot to do with the type of audience that HP is trying to attract.

This is the hub in question: http://hubpages.com/education/Do-Termites-Bite-PeopleI don't see how the hub fits any of the conditions mentioned. It's a real problem people search for, I just checked in to see the number of searches per month, and there are quite a few. This is what I received from...

I realize we're lucky that HubPages invests money in checking some Hubs for plagiarized copies, when it's not their responsibility - so perhaps I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth! However, it would be great if there was a feature by which we could hide the copyright symbol once...

On the 18th May, my hub was flagged for being over promotional.I removed some links of so called prohibited sites (affiliate links) and left in a very useful link to my article on Ezine Articles and a Squidoo lens of mine which is also very informative on the same subject. I submitted the hub for...

Right now, while a Hub is pending, it doesn't show ads, it has a "no follow" tag etc. However our followers get notified and they may share the Hub during that time. It would be nice if that notification could be delayed, too.
