Thoof as a Promotional Tool
Thoof is primarily used as a source of personalized news. I have blogged before about its features from the point of view of a source of information.
If you are a blogger and you have any ego at all, you tend to consider your very own self as a valuable source of information. Thoof can be used to put your blog posts up the proverbial flag pole. It is really easy to submit a post or article to Thoof. Once you have added your post, you receive an embed code that you can use to place a badge on your blog. It seems that every different bookmarking site likes to use a different terms for stuff. Technorati recently began using the term AUTHORITY. Thoof uses the new word ThoofRank. I don’t think they have to worry about any redundancy with that mouthful.
I chose to submit the first part of my Kimkins series on Thoof. It will be interesting to see if that brings in a broader audience. I will know if it is getting any traction just by looking at the rank on my badge. I’ve been looking at the way Thoof works and trying to decide if it is more or less susceptible to subversion and gaming. I think that it will not be quite as skewed by those activities for now, just because it is such a new site.
The process of joining and submitting a post was very simple and fast.
