Thoof - what is it ?

This is a sponsored post

Unless you have been busy, you’ve probably not heard about the new Personalized News Service called THOOF.

Thoof, in short, is another social bookmarking site, like Digg and Stumble.

Except that the kinds of stories and articles that appear on your Thoof page are much more targeted to your searching and bookmarking preferences. Imagine you have your own personalized news site, and then you can add more info to the topic that you like, while sharing this info with other people.

Basically, Thoof is a user generated news and information service that learns about what you are interested in and delivers personalized news that you care about.

Although it is still confusing, how they came up with this name !

When you submit a story to Thoof, you will be given a ThoofRank badge that you can insert into your blog. Then, let others people rank your story. You will know if your story is good after you got a good rank.

There’s a ThoofRank system that comes in the form of a button (for blogs) which is a percentage that starts from 1%. When your ThoofRank rises to above 50%, the article is considered interesting to people. The percentage of your article is a percentage relative to other stories submitted by others and therefore it’s very fair!

This is the single most advantage THOOF has over all the other social bookmarking sites. And there is no other site that offers the users, this kind of service.

It is fun, being served up with results that are supposed to match your personality!
