For the Heck of it!

Have you ever wanted to read the latest news but didn’t want to sift through stories you weren’t interested in? At Thoof you can have your personalized news delivered directly to your browser with stories and articles that are tailored to your individual taste.

Signing up and submitting a story is easy. Well, I should say submitting an article was easy the second time I tried it. I goofed with the first article I submitted and it didn’t go through completely. The article was there but it showed as submitted by “anonymous”. The sign-up isn’t as intuitive as I think it could be so I recommend that Thoof adds step-by-step instructions for new people signing up. (I know web savvy people shouldn’t need this but I guess I’m not as web savvy as I like to think, heh.)

At first glance I thought Thoof was like Digg, but actually, Thoof is very different. At Thoof you will see a personalized page with stories you will find interesting. After a while Thoof learns what you like and will only show you the articles they think you might be interested in, so each person that visits Thoof will see a different page. It really is a fun website and I had a good time clicking and reading the articles. Be careful though, I think Thoof can become addictive!
