Stop letting other people tell you what to read

August 8, 2007 | 0 Responses

Social networking and personal news delivery sites are a great way to get the diversified information that appeals to your interests, but many of these sites have ranking systems that keep stories buried so far down you may never find them.

Get the news you want to read. Not the stories that other people have ranked for you.

Thoof is a social news site that outranks others by not ranking at all. Where a site like Digg allows the wealth of the users to determine the relevance or importance of a stories, at Thoof it is all about the individual.

You wont see any “Most Popular” or “Highest Rating” views of the information on Thoof. You are instead able to browse the related tags of stories you like and every story you click is kept on your history page. From there you are able to Edit the description if you find it misleading or send the story to a friend if you still like it.

Thoof is personalized news at its’ best. Instead of going by the majority rules scenario, Thoof.com operates much more like Wikipedia, allowing users to correct each other on a reasonable basis in order to serve the community with the most accurate descriptions of the news content available.

Thoof even adds off-site functionality with the easy to use, easy to install Thoof It button. It is actually quite clever. All you have to do is drag the Thoof It button from their site onto your bookmarks bar in your browser. When you have a story or video that you want Thoofed, you just click the bookmark.

Once that is submitted, you are given a ThoofRank Badge that can be embedded into your article. Is this starting to sound familiar? Well, they are trying to add some new value.

“ThoofRank, is a fair measurement of how interesting a story is to readers with interests in common with the story. It is expressed as a percentage relative to other Thoof stories, so a ThoofRank above 50% indicates that a story is of above average interest to those readers.”

When you tie in the aspect of people with similar interest, you are further eliminating the possibility of the stories you want to read being buried by the ones the general site population wants to read.

How To Get a Free.com or .info domain name using nothing but a throwaway email address.It is possible to get a free domain name online. Here is a how to get a free domain name from Optinom domain registry. All you need to do is follow the steps I provide you with and confirm the information you give to the website you will be getting the domain from.

All you need is a throw away email and 20 minutes of free time.

Its called EzyRewards

This website gives out prizes to its’ users based on a point system. You earn points by filling out 2-3 page surveys and confirming your email with the companies that own the surveys. Stop! Yes, it is like a paid survey but its different in two very important ways:

Its not a sweepstakes, everyone who earns points can claim a prize.

You do not need a credit card or have to be a U.S. resident to claim any prizes.

It doesn’t take long to fill out the surveys, but you will have to wait a few days for the processing to complete. You will likely receive a lot of junk mail from filling out the surveys. The companies that pay EzyRewards have to get their advertising dollars’ worth. But an inbox you don’t use anyway full of spam isn’t such a large price to pay for a limitless supply of rewards.

So, if you want to get a free domain name, follow closely:

1. Sign up at ezyrewards and confirm your email name, simply follow these steps.
2. Fill out some of the offers you are presented with using real information. If they ask for a phone number, give it to them. I gave my name and phone number none of the companies have called me yet.
3. Confirm your email and follow any steps you are instructed to(you only need to do this once, you don’t have to keep opening emails from the companies)
4. Go to your offers panel, if it says pending your points are most likely on their way in a few hours.
5. Go to click and win and click once a day (this part is a sweepstakes for 400 free points)
6. Refer your friends (optional.. if you need points)
7. When you have enough points, sign up as an optinom customer *no credit card required* and wait for it to show dollar amounts in your credit.
8. Register your new domain name.

Well thats it. Enjoy your new website name.
