Just in case, and this is a long shot, WootAgent doesn’t have quite everything you need to stay up to the second on the items thrown up on Woot, we’ve been trying our hand at devising other systems to help you out.
WootAgent’s AIM Bot
This is a great service for those who prefer an instant message notification for their new woots. It’s all text-based, showing the product name, price, and a link to purchase the item.
The AIM Bot will message you only when there is a new item and then every 6 hours afterwards– for those of you who arne’t AIM-a-holics like ourselves and might (possibly) be logged off while an announcement is broadcast.
ETA: 7 Days with a 87.5% confidence interval
Text-Message Alerts
Due to popular demand (yes, people had the cajones to ask even MORE of us) we’ve bought another slave or two to produce an SMS system for users to subscribe to. We know some of you are almot literally in love with your cell phones, and we’re here to bring that bond to a whole new level. Receive your woot updates from anywhere in the globe!
ETA: 7 Day, give or take a day.

Very cool stuff!
I have some friends that are woot addicts…I will pass this site to them tomorrow at work. I’m sure they’ll appreciate it!
Keep up the good work my friend!
