Xoop - Something New or Something Confusing?

from the what-is-it dept

Marlene wrote in to point out the following article about Xoop which is apparently a content finder/sorter. I'm still a little confused as to what it does, but it sounds like it might be cool (how's that for a review?). Has anyone checked it out?

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Xoop

    Well....I downloaded it....1.23 megs [NT4].
    How do you say it? My guess, is Zoo-oop. I could be wrong, maybe Sh-oop. Either way, Install was painless....now let's see what it does. After install, needed to register.....bahhh, does not work. On 2nd attempt, says my log was corrupt and yelled at me saying I should not manually modify it. Will attempt a few more, but their site SUCKS....as the FAQ does not answer this prob. Maybe my firewall....dunno, but give it a try and email me if you get it. Spaz@thesuits.com

      Well... i downloaded it too and i really like it... perhaps you had a problem with a firewall or somthing.

      As far as the product goes, it's kinda a content snippet delivery system or somthing... it is by far the nicest looking interface of ANY downloadable application i've ever used.

    Xoop is cool!

    I like Xoop, i downloaded it a couple of weeks ago and it has been delivering really cool information ever since! It's only been out for a few weeks I guess, but they are definately going in the RIGHT direction!

      I just downloaded it myself. I totally dig it! I'm an information junkie, and this little piece of software gives me more than I need for my daily fix. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes learning cool and interesting facts.
