Hooray! We’ve decided to release the wootAgent AIMBOT to allow all users to test it during this Woot-Off.
If you use AOL Instant Messenger then send an IM to: WootAgentBot
Once you message the bot, it will immediately message you back with the current item, price, and a link to the item. Type: help for more options and you can subscribe to messages from the WootAgent bot. If you want to subscribe, type: add and you will be added to the bots list and every time a new item appears you will be instantly notified. During Woot-Off mode, you will receive an IM every time the ‘percentage sold out’ changes.
If you want to be removed from the list, type: remove and you will be notified that you have been removed.
Leave comments on your thoughts for this new feature.

hey guys, im Jon, the developer of the WootBot. wev run into a few errors in the bot, some people subscribed to the Bot with a type of screen name that requires payment, and this makes the bot crash when it sends them an IM. im currently workin on a fix for it, so keep it on your buddy list and it should be up and running shortly. stay tuned!
