One thing I really like about having the internet is the convenience of getting all of news in one place. I read all different types of news: world news, computer and software news, interesting personal stories and I even like Hollywood gossip now and then. It’s nice to be able to log on and get it all with one click of the mouse.

New to me is Thoof, a great new web site that offers personalized news. My first impression was that Thoof was quite similar to digg. You are able to submit stories to Thoof and they appear on their homepage, but that is really where the similarities end. Unlike digg, Thoof offers a variety of options including hide, improve and send to a friend. I think that is really cool! The hide option allows you to bypass stories you are not interested in. Improve is also self explanatory; it enables you to improve a story. Send to a friend is a great feature that allows you to send your friends stories you think they might be missing out on.
You might also notice that stories can be one of three colors - blue, green, or gray - to let you know which stories are new to you, which ones you have seen but not read and which stories are totally new. They also offer a badge for your blog or website. I think this is really cool. Overall I had a really enjoyable experience with Thoof and I will be visiting quite frequently in the future.
