Thoof - The Personalized News Website
Published August 7th, 2007 in Special.
What is Thoof? Thoof is a website that gives you your own personalized news page. It’s sort of like a social bookmarking site (also known as user-generated news), allowing you to discover, share and read interesting community submitted stories. The interesting part about this website is that Thoof will recommend stories to you according to the kind of stories you that like (by keeping track of the stories you’ve submitted, read or click-through in the past)…
They also have this feature called the ThoofRank Badge, which allows you to track and monitor how popular your submitted stories are, relative to other the stories submitted to Thoof. It’s a great way to drive traffic to your site, and at the same time encourage bloggers to submit quality content to be shared within the community.
How they came up with the name “Thoof” for the website remained a mystery. I had a quick look at the founding members of Thoof but nothing seem to be related to that word. The best word that I could relate to Thoof is probably the word “tough”. Maybe, the founder(s) of this website wanted this site to be the toughest contender among the other social bookmarking sites out there? Or maybe, Thoof actually stands for The Hero of our Future? Maybe….maybe… =)
