Thoof: Great News and Ancient Scottish Tradition
To thoof comes from a Scottish dialect and describes an ancient tradition whereby the community would rally together and shout out the pressing news for discussion. The individuals would then keep shouting, or alternatively stay silent and stand with the person who was shouting something that seemed more pressing. The last seven people to still be speaking will then provide the discussion for the community meeting. The custom of thoofing would allow community members to decide on that which was most important for each individual member.
It seems quite fitting that they would select this name for this great peer to peer news submission site. I am glad that they have incorporated a very culturally relevant to their site, it lends it a bit of history. Check out Thoof for peer to peer personalized news.
