Yesterday the Thoof website came out of its beta and became open to anyone.
What is Thoof?
Here is what they say:
Thoof is a website that offers interesting news articles, websites, videos, photographs, and other links from around the web. Everything on the site is posted by Thoof readers, and can also be improved and edited by those same readers. What makes Thoof unique is a sophisticated algorithm which discovers a reader’s interests and tailors the stories to each reader’s individual tastes. Every Thoof reader will see a personalized page with stories he or she will find interesting. All that you, as a reader, have to do is simply read what you like, and Thoof takes care of the rest!
We created Thoof because we found, as we surfed the web for things that interested us, that we seemed to have only two options: Either visit dozens of specialized sites, or visit general news sites where what we wanted was often buried under a pile of what we didn’t want— if it was there at all. On either type of site, we often had to read through lots of stories just to find one that was interesting. User-contributed sites provided the most interesting articles, but were often duplicated and inaccurate, and there was no way to fix them. Thoof tries to solve these problems.
Will this site take off? Heck we don’t know. If we had those kind of answers then we would be in Hawaii and letting the internet pay for our drinks. 
What we are wondering is if Thoofer’s bother to Digg stories. Should be interesting to find out.
If you are a Thoof’er and also a Digg user, let us know, by Digg’ing it!

Thoof rocks! Found it from a random RSS feed, can’t remember which one…but I’m loving it so far…seems to have interesting links.
It definitely looks pretty cool.
Do you think Digg’ers also are going to be Thoofer’s?
We are thinking that they are, what do you think?
[...] use Thoof are not the same type of folks that like to Digg articles. See this post and comments here for [...]
Apparently Thoof Users don’t Digg.
We have had over 1,000 Diggs in a day and the Thoof users only gave us 7.
Will Thoof make it?
I do believe Thoof users also Digg because that’s what I do. Tell you what. I will Digg this post. Now, you have my website. Please go and digg any of the posts that have a ThoofRank badge. There are a lot of them.
Will Thoof make it? one comment asks? A resounding YES! I cannot imagine they won’t. In fact, I’m thinking here that maybe it’s only that particular blog that does not get Dugg and Thoofed at the same time.
Thoof probably won’t get nearly as popular as Digg, as there are already plenty of digg rip-offs already on the internet.
K, Jaz, let’s see what happens.
mc2w,
There are definitely quite a few Digg type sites, Thoof is different and probably different users. Would love to see the demographic comparisons.
