The story started as the founder has a dog called Thor. It loves to bark around “woof woof”. One thing the founder found headache about Thor is during playing fetching game, it will only fetch back toys it loves. As for toys Thor disliked, it will not even bother it at all.

One day, a few guys were gathering around planning for a new web project. The project is a web2.0 site that will offer personalized news and fetches stories that users interested. Besides, it will let users have the rights to bump or modify the news. So, they brainstormed several names for this project. But all does not sound that creative.

At that moment, the founder suddenly thought of Thor, since Thor has a special personality on picking it favorite items, this shares the same objective of the project. He then came out an idea why not combining Thor and its barking call it – Thoof? “Thor” + “woof” = “Thoof”. That is how the name Thoof comes into the web2.0 world.

So, next time instead of just digg your news, you better thoof your news as well.
