That's right! Within a few seconds (usually instantly), WootAgent will pop up on your screen to notify you when there is a new woot item, a woot item is running out, and when a woot item is sold-out. The same criterion goes for a woot-off.
Customizable sound notifications
Sleeping or busy around the office when woot presents a new item? Just turn them speakers up and practice your three-yard dash! Not the biggest fan of the wonderful sounds we have as default? Don't worry, now you can get Darude - Sandstorm to play each woot alert. Maybe a little Thriller to let you know a woot-off has graced our presence.
Interface to die forNote: We don't really recommend dying for the interface. It is really nice though. Tabbed navigation allows you to look only at the information you care most about.
Today's Item
The bare essentials you need to get your woot on: A picture of the item, the product's name, price, and that lovely little “I want one!” button.
Description
No little sissy description previews here. We piled that sauce on, giving you the entire story on today's item, including the product features and specifications.
Price Check
Sometimes woot *gasp* doesn't have the lowest price. We seek out lower prices on today's woot using different price comparison engines such as Froogle and MSN Shopping (more soon to come). Please note that WootAgent searches these engines based solely on the name woot has given the item, therefore price comparisons may not be 100% accurate.
Mix-N-Match WootAgent to your liking
We give you a myriad… an array…nay, a plethora of options to make WootAgent custom-tailored to your needs. Users can disable tabs and alerts they don't need, customize WootAgent's refresh rate and popup speed, and for those who tend to have slightly worse memory than Stephen Hawking and might forget to turn WootAgent on - the option to have WootAgent start up with Windows.
A little system tray lovin'
WootAgent nestles itself in your system tray with a little green “w!” icon. Right click the icon to access options. If you happen to spot the orange “w!” icon, grab your credit card because a Woot-Off is going on. Lose your internet connection? The “w!” icon will fade to gray and try to reconnect and receive information from woot. You can also mouse over the icon to view a tooltip presentation of today's item and price.
Track Woot! & Wine.Woot!
WootAgent's options just keep on growing and growing. Now you can switch between Woot.com and Wine.Woot.com and the application will automatically update showing you the latest item. Woot! has also alerted us to Shirt.Woot which is to debut soon, and you too will be able to track that site all from this program.
What are you waiting for, get your hands on WootAgent now!
