We’ll admit, this Woot-Off was more of a trial and error for us as we tested out our IM and SMS service, and continued working on WootAgent V2.0. While we had many angry users who could not get the services properly working, they were and still are in BETA, we sincerely apologize.
On a lighter note, we have many exciting updates. The IM and SMS service are nearly flawless and should be ready to go 100% during the next Woot-Off. If you would like to have yourself removed from the SMS service, simply send us an email with your cell # and you will be removed from the list. We are still working on a feature that will let you automatically remove yourself from the list.
WootAgent Version 2.0 will be available before the next Woot-Off (we hope). We are still fixing it up and are extremely hesitant to release it because we want it to be perfect for our users. The newer version will be sleeker, faster and it will have a better option menu and have wine.woot integration.
Lastly, we have made a few site updates. Advertisements have been placed throughout the site in order to keep the development of WootAgent moving along. Please keep in mind WootAgent is a self-funded program. The money we receive goes towards developing all these features for our users and paying for hosting. We have also added a “ReviewMe” option on the blog. We intend to review anyone who approaches us with a website related to: Woot, technology, and electronics. Why are we doing this? In the coming weeks WootAgent is going to be expanding outside of the “Woot” world and tapping into several other markets, so now would be a good time to get a head start.
