Ever get frustrated with products that cost too much for any self-respecting college student to buy? Woot is an online paradise for all students looking to find sweet deals at a discounted price.
Sticking mostly to electronics and household items, daily deals range from vacuums to flatscreen TVs; sorry, ladies but you won't find any Juicy purses here.
Woot's offers fixed price deals brokered directly through the company's site.
"It started as an employee-store slash market-testing type of place for an electronics distributor, but it's taken on a life of its own," according to Woot.com. Deals spend 12 hours per day on the Woot home screen, but if they sell out, you're out of luck.
Woot is not just limited to one daily sale; it goes much farther than that. Kids.Woot, Shirts.Woot, Wine.Woot and Deals.Woot are all sub-sites of Woot, and "the site is largely the outcome of audience participation." Woot-ers out on the web can post deals to the site and suggest a variety of items with great deals for other members and non-members alike to review.
Not only does the site sell products, but they also offer customer reviews, both negative and positive. "'Woots"' is where we encourage everyone to post their comments, opinions, experiences, and share technical knowledge," and is home to dedicated members who have taken the site to the next level.
Members are responsible for the creation of Desktop widgets for Apple's Dashboard and the Windows Sidebar, as well as one of the top 100 most followed Twitter accounts. To learn more about Woot or see the deal of the day, visit Woot.com and enjoy!
