The World Cup is Hot on toot

Roba — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:04:16 +0000

Of course, we love the World Cup. Toot bloggers love the World Cup. EVERYONE loves the World Cup. Here’s a round up of what toot bloggers are saying:

“Ban the Vuvuzela!”, said Mark of 2:48 AM in Kuwait. “Yes please! I used to be pro vuvuzela but not anymore. It’s just too much.”

Hareega on the other hand discusses the US team’s surprisingly good game: “The US has a good team. However they will never win the World Cup if they keep calling this game soccer. Sorry, but your “football” lost. The world likes the real football where players play with their feet, not helmet ball where players play with their helmets.”

Introducing… Zoofs

Roba — Thu, 06 May 2010 06:37:15 +0000

While toot became a few years before the social media revolution, the tootcorp team has been hard at work enjoying the rest of what social media has to offer. First came Ikbis (videos ROCK!), the came watwet (for the love of sms), and now comes…

Zoofs.

Zoofs is a new way to discover YouTube videos that people are talking about on Twitter. Zoofs orbits around the Twitter sphere, eating through piles of tweets everyday, in search for the most tweeted YouTube videos, and applies a weighing recipe to rank them based on their popularity.

You can browse through videos by categories, and filter videos by showing only those that were uploaded on YouTube in the past 72 hours. You will also notice that some videos have the “Must Watch” ribbon on them. These are videos that the team at Zoofs are loving and thought are worth highlighting.

Zoofs likes to keep things simple and visually stimulating. Even better, the Zoofs looks great on iPad and iPhone, and utilizes YouTube support for HTML5. The amount of videos we are picking off Twitter ensures that people, even video junkies like us, will enjoy the power of discovering YouTube videos on Zoofs.

Stay tuned as Zoofs expands its service. We have some kick-ass ideas and features on the way, that will support other platforms and data formats. What you see today is just the tip of the iceberg.

Check out Zoofs here. Let us know what you think :D
