Thoof! ... is not the sound a lispy dog makes.
| *Sponsored Post* My internet habits—and limited time in which to indulge them—don't leave me a lot of time for reading the news these days. I have a pretty short attention span when it comes to that stuff, anyway, and I've got my RSS feed reader pared down to only that which can hold my attention, or that which I can breeze through quickly. It doesn't include much in the way of news. I recently discovered Thoof, though, and it's feeding my need to feel more informed and politically aware, what with the election year approaching and all. It's a personalized news aggregator, which means that I can personalize it to show me only headlines covering topics that interest me. Their business tag, for example, brings up a page of finance-related headlines. Nifty. From a marketing standpoint, I really should also start using them as a marketing tool and submitting some of my own posts. Getting my posts out there will do more for my traffic, which will ultimately do more for my bottom line (and for my debt elimination). The Thoof ranking badge could be a great way to track the popularity of my posts. Now all I have to do is come up with something legitimately news-worthy to post about, and I'll be all set.
