Review On Thoof - A Web 2.0 Personalized News Sharing Site

Jul.31.2007 Uncategorized (0)

Thoof is a socially aggregated link sharing site that provides personalized news, articles, videos or photos from blogs and/or websites based on your personal preferences. This instead of displaying information based on what the editors or other readers choose depending on a community rating system. Thoof selects and personalizes information that suits your particular tastes only. This is determined on your past behavior on what you’ve read on the Thoof site as compared to what the rest of the community reads. Thoof’s website layout does not have specific topic categories or a readership bookmarking system of their favorite news articles, blog posts, videos clips or favorite photographs like other similar Web 2.0 based “peer to peer” sharing sites. Thoof does however have a search box as well as a tagging system for easily identifying related news stories. Thoof tracks its readership habits and favorites by a “built in” user identification tracking algorithm that relies on story personalization based on your reading habits. The system tracks the story links and subject topics that you’ve clicked and read and then attempts to deliver news links based those related interests. There is also a “ThoofRank” system that grades how popular a particular article post is based on the readership community of Thoof. Registration is an easy anonymous process where just a valid email, confirmation and password is required. I submitted a recent post from my blog and it was a straight forward process where a title, url link and the content of the story (a simple copy and paste) including identification tags was all that was required. After submitting, there is a small linkback HTML code you place on the original source of the article. The ThoofRank badge tracks the popularity and readership of your post based on the Thoof readers. The percent % ranking increases once members have had a chance to read your submitted post.

Wikipedia.com is planning on building a bigger, better community driven and developed search service that would eventually and hopefully rival major search engines such as MSN, Google and Yahoo. The name of the commercial start up is Wikia.com. Wikia for this purpose, has acquired Grub, a pioneering web crawler from another search rival Looksmart, which will drive the forthcoming Wikia engine to search and scour the web to index and retrieve relevant web sites. Wikia, which in the past has assisted “groups” to set up 1000’s of Wikipedia type sites on specialized topics ranging from: books to entertainment to travel, plans to develop the site based on an “open source” web search service utilizing the help and use of volunteers. The new Wikia search engine, which is geared to launch near the end of 2007, will use the combination of computer driven algorithms as well as human assisted editing when the public version of the site is launched.

The BP Refinery-Factory In Whiting, Indiana - Enviromental Harzard Or Sustainable Energy - Tradeoff Please

Jul.24.2007 Uncategorized (0)

The world we presently live in forces our motives to be focused on self survival. To harvest our own resources and not to be dependent on external means. BP is an energy company with it’s sole purpose focused on the continuation and the preservation of the American way of life as we know it. But in their stellar attempts in allowing us to continue living our lives in freedom, there’s always counter resistance from seemingly good intentions. A recent article that appeared in the Chicago Tribune, in its attempt to protect and address environmental issues and concerns, may have misrepresented some key facts regarding the actions of the BP refinery in Illinois.

The Chicago Tribune article pointed out the possible violations and potential hazards BP may be causing in its attempts to further increase the production of oil at its refinery plant in Whiting, Indiana. Their main point being the further polluting of Lake Michigan by BP, when they gained approval of dumping increased, but allowable legal amounts of toxins such as ammonia and industrial sludge into the lake, further endangering the fish population and immediate environment due to its high metal content.

BP however is well aware of its potential impact on harming the environment and is fully responsible and committed to the preservation of its surroundings. The BP plant, based in Whiting, Indiana only disposes clean treated water and not sludge as claimed in the report, as well as allowable ammonia discharge into Lake Michigan. Water and discharge that is well within the legal limits as set out and regulated by the Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management and the US Environmental Protection Agency. These limits disposed will not harm people, animals or the environment.

Energy, as in effective and efficient oil production, is a vital commodity required to heat our homes, operate our cars, keep us employed thus prolonging our lives. BP Refinery based in Indiana uses Canadian heavy crude oil which requires an additional refinement process. This reduces the reliance of importing oil from unstable middle eastern countries. BP is also committed to modernizing its refinery by spending $3 Billion to upgrade its process and to enhance the refineries wastewater treatment system.
