Finally! After one month of suffering, a Woot-Off has just begun! What is a Woot-Off you ask? According to Woot.com:
Q: I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
A: No, you aren’t seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure.
In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)
Be sure to download WootAgent to get up to the minute tracking during the Woot-Off.
P.S. WootAgent is still in v1.0 so the annoying siren won’t go away during this Woot-Off unless you turn off your volume. Sorry!
P.P.S. We started with 8240 downloads before the Woot-Off. Lets see where we end up at the end.
