I am trying out a new service to bring my smaller niche articles to a larger audience. The service is called Thoof, and it allows you to submit a story, with a brief description, and tags to help organize the story. It will provide a larger audience to find your own niche stories.
I am also using the service to watch for stories that I am interested in, and it has really helped me find sources that I would not have been able to previously. I just read a story that I found on Thoof, that told me that The Ohio State University has brought back on of it's best president in history, Gordon Gee (known for his bow ties).
Give the service a try to help you in your personalized news story searches.
This was one of the easiest services to sign up for, it took all of about two minutes (most of that was just waiting for the email to come in). Once you have signed up, it takes only seconds to submit a story to the site, and if it is your own story you may embed your ThoofRank badge into your site again in only seconds.
I believe that services like these will be the way of the future because we don't have the time to go out and hunt thousands or millions of different resources. The only thing that I see that is missing from this version (and perhaps I am just overlooking it right now), is a customized RSS feed of the sort of stories I am looking for.
