Thoora – Discover what the world is talking about., Altsearchengines (Oct 3)
Thoora is a new service - currently in beta - for picking up news and buzz from blogosphere, twittersphere, and (it claims) nearly 5,000 traditional media sources. It says it reports by "listening to the millions of voices from the social Web". Company is based in Toronto, Canada
From the article: "In real-time, Thoora identifies the most interesting stories from the entire blogosphere, Twitter and all traditional media sources, providing users with access to the most unique perspectives and voices. Thoora uses a proprietary and cutting-edge filtering, clustering, and ranking algorithm to identify the stories with the strongest ’signals’ (i.e. the most activity, comments, posts, updates, etc.). Thoora then ranks the stories based on the size of the reaction they generate."
