Thrillist Thrilled by Thoora

Before Thoora launched last month at TechCrunch50, we spent a long time quietly developing the technology, including our proprietary algorithm, that powers our news discovery service, which scours the entire blogosphere, Twitter and nearly 5,000 traditional media sources to determine the stories attracting the most buzz and attention.

So, it’s gratifying and exciting to see people talking about Thoora, and how we’re different from the existing news services. A good example of the positive reception is a review from Thrillist, a popular Web site that puts the spotlight on the new products and services. Here’s an excerpt:

“From a posse of Canadian developers, Thoora’s a news aggregating service highlighting the most buzzed-about stories as covered by non-mainstream sources around the web in real time, via a complex algorithm that constantly filters, calculates, and ranks the subjects and content of blog posts, Twitter updates, and comments to determine what’s actually attracting attention.”

You can be pretty sure that we’ll be describing ourselves as a “posse” on a regular basis!
