I think we've got a shirt for anyone concerned about those prepositions.

I think I sort of love woot unconditionally, bc none of this bothers me.
The vid was great, the break room looks so nice! Really diggin the posters.. the Boots print is one of my fave Ts.
Kisses for you guys! <333

Just put it back.

Sad to say I miss the old woot. I agree One deal a day is what I got into. Change may be inevitable, but that does not make it good.

This smells like just another way to view Amazon. There's an old profound cliche'... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Goodbye Woot, its been fun. Somebody get creative and set up a new Woot like this used to be. Maybe even a new eBay, like the original. All ebayers will follow.

It's ironic that after years of people complaining about the item selection of the "one deal" the top complaint about the new site design seems to be "too many items, go back to just one."

Why is the word "ages" appearing over the heads of all the avatars?

I love this! Woot, as long as you don't get rid of Monte and Mortimer in your daily digests, I'm fine with whatever changes you want to make.

But I have to ask, why do sites like yours disable the full-screen buttons when they embed Youtube videos? I can't watch those videos when they're so tiny, but that full screen button just sits there mocking me. It's pretty easy to just open it in Youtube, but I like to complain about this like people complain about change!

My apologies if that's something Youtube does...

I thought your last redesign was disastrous. This one's worse. I think I've bought 2 things since your initial redesign, the glory days of woot are definitely over for this guy.

For all those howling about the changes to our cages, a little musical theater accompaniment...

I really needed this video. I still may not appreciate all the changes made to Woot!, but I can certainly appreciate this highly entertaining, well-produced musical. I see Broadway in Mortimer's future.

Hooray for websites the look like Yugster!!

8 deals + 4 ads + 5 things pretending to be a woot deal + 2 extra spaces for more ads + busy icons and images * 1 day = Way too damn much in my face.

Remember when woot was just woot, you know before Amazon and 3am Bouts of Consternation?

Call me a purest, but I want just one woot at a time. If I want to track all the woot pages I'll go support my favorite tracker and give them another donation.

I enjoy upgrades, and am sure it'll grow on us.

Looks good on the desktop, not so much on my a500 tab, video hangs on the upper left corner, covers the navigation, and pages are loading laggy and slow. The deceptive (page filling) ads kind of suck, but whatever it takes to get me my woot nuggets!

Don't like it. too white. and the white buttons with the green box are hard to see and realize they are a link.

Too Busy!!!

I like the multiple woot sites, but I really like the one deal/day idea and the clean layouts of the past. D--n those who fix what ain't broke!

Ending a sentence with a preposition isn't usually a bad thing, and in this case it's perfectly fine. Most of the time it's more awkward to reword a sentence to avoid it. The main thing to avoid is adding an unnecessary preposition to the end of the sentence, like in "Where are you at?"

Having said that, I do have a grammar police quota to keep. The idiom is "used to", not "use to".

Seems like advertisement is what is being showcased as a product

Still waiting for the Cast Iron Woot Dutch Oven! Don't make me hold my breath until my head explodes all over the break room. It's gonna get messy up in here!

If I'm interpreting the wootcast video correctly, it seems that woot's position is that us customers who have been coughing up the money, for admittedly good deals, are simply unable to "appreciate" the "upgrades" to the site and the homepage, comparing the changes to the supplying of water when there was none before. It still doesn't register, apparently, that the new design has real problems, and that it may have been a poor move, and some money may have been wasted. Some ideas - tabs for example - perhaps should be kept from the myriad of changes, but among those of us who spend so much time cruising the internet and opening our wallets to sites we enjoy, there seems to be a general consensus that the homepage is way too busy. Of course, your business, your call.... the only power we have as customers is to "vote" with our wallets.

im trying to like it...i really am....but i just dont get why *we* must ALWAYS take an awesome thing...and then commercialize it. i feel as though we have gone experiencing good music...to boy band top forty. s o l d o u t.

you may not get the dutch oven...but at some point im almost sure there will be a bamboo steamer with purchase....only 5 monthly payments of 39.95....well unless you want the 12 upgrades...and...oh...did i happen to mention you win a trip to disney world..AND a free month subscription to supersecret rewards card club....plus wait...there is more....a free month to three magazines of your choice.....

no obligation....except for when you cant get thru to cancel.


*going to take a nap now*

Mortimer was right. I used to go to Woot every day just to read the write-ups even if it wasn't something i liked or a good enough deal. I guess i could figure out how to get to the great writing but it's now WORK and people pay me to WORK. i can get new-egg to send me a lot of deals on a daily basis if thats all Woot is. Too Biz E is right!

Put it back... he says what we're all thinking.

I effing hate the new woot. Like, I don't wait up for it anymore. And I kinda sigh when I get the email, because it too, is busy. I liked the simplicity of the site before. No crazy extra advertising, a million clicks weren't needed, funny descriptions right in your face. I too, am moving to a different site. No Bueno for me.

Wow I loved this video! by far my favorite :D and that song is awesome

This video made it clear to me what Woot thinks of customer's opinions.
Now I agree that change can be good.
I already changed from shitwoot to ript. Now I will find something else to replace woot.
