New social-news site on the block
Ever since the success of digg and later its publicly-discussed shortcomings, many new websites have sprung up, perfecting what is lacking on digg and also on other site spin-offs. One such website is thoof.com. Well one thing for sure, most of them have funny names, I guess the more tacky it sounds, the easier it is for users to remember.
Thoof tracks the rating for each submitted piece just by counting the number of clicks each one receives. After the user click on it, a new window will open with the original page. After you close it and return to thoof, the user can click on another link which says “Not interesting” (of course if the article was not interesting to you). This will ultimately give the article a decrease in its rating.
