What is mywoot.net?

mywoot.net is a website that is designed to help you track the deals offered by Woot under its website, woot.com.
Woot is an online merchant, usually selling one product every day. You can find more information about Woot in their FAQ.

Here is the schedule of a typical day on Woot.com: at midnight central time, a new product is posted, along with the informations about it (product description, price, buying options, ...). The product is then immediatly available for sale and Woot's visitors can purchase it by clicking on the "I want one" button in Woot's main page. Woot users can start discussing the product on the Woot community forums, which can be accessed from the Woot mainpage by clicking on the "Discuss this deal" button. After a while, depending on the available quantity and the product, the product can sell out, and the "I want one" button is replaced by a "Sold out" picture. This means that the product is no longer available. And at midnight central time, 24h after the product has been posted, it gets replaced by a new one, no matter if it sold out or not, and a new cycle starts :)

Approximately once a month, Woot organizes a special event, called a Woot-Off. During a Woot-Off, the Woot website goes crazy and start selling products one after the other. Instead of waiting the next day to post a new product, the products are posted one after the other, as soon as the previous product is sold out. Considering that most items during a Woot-Off are proposed in very low quantities, the Woot-Off are usually very fast paced. This makes it hard to follow all the products, and it is very easy to miss a great deal (because yes, Woot is full of deals). We have designed mywoot.net to help you follow the Woot-Off. Instead of looking at the Woot webpage regularly and manually refreshing it to see if there is a new product, you can look at the mywoot.net webpage, which is automatically refreshed at a regular interval. When a new item is posted by Woot, the mywoot.net webpage automatically updates itself on your screen, and you hear an audio alert. You then have the option to buy the item from Woot, or to go to the discussion forums offered by Woot, depending on which link you use in the mywoot.net webpage.

Because mywoot.net is essentially a Woot mirror, it is designed to have a similar "look'n'feel" that the Woot website. This does not mean that mywoot.net and Woot are run by the same people: in fact, they are not, not at all. Thus, any purchase you make will be fulfilled by Woot, and mywoot.net staff will never have access to any personal information that you may provide Woot with so that they can process your orders.

mywoot.net is owned by a group of Woot enthusiasts who wanted to bring something to the Woot community. When you click the "I want one" or the "Discuss this" links on the main mywoot.net page, you are being redirected to Woot's website. Again, mywoot.net does not have access to any information about your Woot account, about your purchases or more generally about any personal information you provide Woot with, even if you reach the Woot website through a link on mywoot.net.

Please do not hesitate to leave us a message if you have any question about mywoot.net. We will be glad to answer.
