Digg? Thoof? Cavenger? Which is best? For my money, I’d say Cavenger

Just another news site to me, this isn’t anything new, clever or useful

Gabe,

Good point on Findory — should have mentioned.

From the wording at its site, Findory looks to use the collaborative filtering technology, which I mentioned lower in the story, which Clarke says he found problems with. He built one of these filters while at Revver, and decided to avoid it at Thoof.

The other difference is Thoof’s use of collaborative editing to ensure story accuracy.

$1M for this? If the founding, connections, etc. can make it fly through partnerships et al, great. Otherwise, I don’t see this getting anywhere.

Regardless, I just visited the site and I’ve got an “Internal error”

Why the comparison with Digg but not Findory?

Whoever came up with that name should be tazed. “Thoof”? It sounds like “fluff” which is the last think I would want my “news site” associated with.

Gracious me, who OKs these names?
