WOOT! for the Masses

Have you ever went to a retail store looking for a specific item. After searching the entire store, you find that special item on the clearance rack for 60% off? Success, one point for the consumer. Leaving the current score at 4312 vs. 12 in favor of the retail store.


What if you could even the score a little bit? Well you can, and you can do it with a woot! At woot.com you can purchase an amazing deal everyday of the week. In the months that I have been following woot, I have seen name brand computer systems, projectors, home stereo components, printers and many other devices sell for 30-60% less then your typical retail store. Not to mention $5 dollar shipping charges per item for every item no matter how big.


Now your next question is, why the name "woot"? Well, imagine you were just completing the analysis of a scratch off lottery ticket and you found yourself to be a $10,000 winner. Now jump out of your chair and yell, "Woot!". How do you feel? That is exactly the feeling the the staff @ woot.com are trying to simulate. A more in depth analysis of the word woot can be found @ answers.com.


So take time out of your busy schedule and take a stroll on down to the newly renovated woot. Gaze upon the item of the day and find yourself slowly but surely becoming a wooter.



Cheers!
