Last week I wrote about the cool way you can get personalized news delivered directly to your browser. I have to tell you though, reading the news at Thoof is almost as bad as watching videos on YouTube. I just can’t stop, hehe. There is always another interesting story to read.
One thing I didn’t go into detail with is the ThoofRank badge. The ThoofRank badge and the number shown on it is a measure of how interesting your submitted story is to readers that have interests in common with it. For example, at the time of this writing the story I submitted on July 26th has a ranking of 48%. That means that my story is 48% more popular than other related stories. That’s a little below average but not too bad for my first try.
In addition to personalized news I’m thinking that Thoof might be a good way to drive traffic to a blog or website. I suppose the only way to know that for sure is to conduct a little test. What I’m going to do is submit a few stories to Thoof and add the ThoofRank badge to them. Then I’ll keep an eye on my stats to see if I get any results from my little campaign. I’m always thinking! *grin*
