Poll: Uh-oh, we got a new sibling! How should we feel about Tech.Woot?
  • 7.5% - Jealous! They're clearly stealing your thunder with terrific deals! 104
  • 15% - Proud. You're still setting the example to which they must live up. 208
  • 31.3% - Happy! You'll have the best deal, but they'll have the tech deal. Hand in hand, you'll march forward together. 435
  • 6.5% - Sad. Now everyone's gonna be over there instead of here. 90
  • 21.4% - Indifferent. Nothing's really changing THAT much. 297
  • 18.4% - Furious! WHY WASN'T I CONSULTED???? 255

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

With tech.woot, now all the rokus, tablets, PCs, iPhones, iPods and mice won't comprise 3/4ths of woot.com's items!

Or tech.woot just won't be part of the woot-off. One or the other.

What's next? Vacuum.woot? I think i've bought less stuff since woot mushroomed into so many sites. It just doesn't feel like wooting anymore - its just shopping now...

So, I am guessing that Dyson! woot is next? How much more can you dilute the original idea behind Woot? One deal, one day?

I won't lie, the writers have been pushing for this one for about four years now. Not for the betterment of the brand, but because we're selfish and want those free advance copies from the record companies!

Hi, I'm one of the writers. My powers are limited but I'll do what I can.

That'd make turntable days pretty sweet.

I'm just hanging out, really.

I just counted. Excluding Sellout.Woot, there are currently *200* items for sale today. Who want's to guess which 1 is the deal?

Exact reason lot of people got sick of Groupon and nomoreracks. I remember why i unsubscribed to groupon emails. They just forgot their roots and you get "Groupon travels".

edit : uh-oh, i might have uncovered Woot's next site, travel. woot!

PRO TIP:

www.woot.com/today

Bookmark that. Ignore everything else. It's like getting your old Woot back!

Embrace the new woot, people. I think it looks pretty good, and I like a lot of the new features. The Devs certainly seem to be listening to suggestions and I've already seen a ton of them implemented. I was turned off by woot plus at first but found myself sorry I missed out on one of the safe's for sale today.

Take a few deep breaths and try and find some things YOU like about it too.

Just don't do it from my lawn.

How about "done?" Because that's where I am. Eight(!) generic sites designed by a committee of empty suits, featuring uninspired "deals" on insipid run-of-the-mill stuff that can be found anywhere... for about the same price. Woot, you are a joke now. Not only have I not bought anything in months, I don't even bother checking the site(s) daily anymore... more like two or three times a week. Why even bother? I'm just done.
