This Thoof project is really interesting. It's a new site for
Personalized News. It has the same idea than Digg, where anyone can propose links for interesting news on the web, with a short description.
Nothing new for you?
Well, with Thoof every link can be "enhanced" for others visitors. It's possible to change the title, the description, the link address and add tags, if you want. It's a feature that I always missed on Digg, after all, what to do with a great link, but with a bad description?
After suggesting enhancements, all visitors can vote on the best version. But, you won't lost your favorite versions, every link you click will be registered, that way is easy to find all the articles you visited.
The system can learn what you like and start to suggest an exclusive page with your favourite subjects. It's like a mix of Wiki and Digg, allowing more visitors interaction.
Some great features:
when you scroll to end of the page, new content is automatically added to it.
after one minute or more, the page expires and a new one is loaded, with fresh links.
it was designed with Apache Wicket
it's a Ian Clarke's project, the guy behind The Freenet project.
It's a great tool for bloggers willing to attract visitors.
