The Next Web plagiarized this article, was called out by the original author, and [the CEO] responded very poorly.  (See the CEO’s responses to the original author via Twitter toward the end here.)

I decided to block all Google search results from TheNextWeb.com by doing the following steps:

1. Log in to your Google account at Google.com
2. Search the term “the next web”
3. Click on the first result that comes from TheNextWeb.com
4. Hit “Back” from your browser
5. Click on the new option that appears under the same result from Step 3 that reads “Block all thenextweb.com results” (see screenshot via title link)

This works for other domains as well. I like to use it when a certain domain tends to return crappy results (e.g., song lyrics websites that contain an obnoxious number of ads).
