Get your News from Thoof

Recently I started using another news service that may be of use to many of you in your quest for personalized news.

Thoof is a new service that takes many of your usual sources of news and aggregates them together in one place for you to go. In addition to these usual sources there are also many user submitted stories from across the web, so the chances of finding something that interests you that you would not ordinarily find just went up many times over.

Since you are reading my local news blog I jusy did a quick search on Cincinnati. Hey one of my posts on the Lockland Elementary principal issue is there! I hope that that story gets more coverage and I should also start posing more about the horrible school board that we have here in Lockland. There are also stories that range from a professional surfer from HBO's John From Cincinnati to a Death Sentence being overturned here.

I for one was aware of HBO's John From Cincinnati show, but not what it was about, or that they actually brought in professional athletes to act in it, or about Kenny Richey case before the Sixth Circuit Federal Court of Appeal in Cincinnati (It took to long, but I'm glad to hear that his case was overturned), but as you can see from these examples they are not your everyday story that you would read in a blog (even one as colorful as mine).

When you submit a story it will get a ThoofRank which will indicate how the readers compare it to similar stories on the site. So if you like user submitted sites such as SlashDot or Digg, give Thoof a try because even after a story has been submitted it can be modified by the users of the system so that no story can be overtaken by mod mentality.
