Deals.Woot

I still hate it. I miss a lot of deals now because they don't populate on the front page. Unless you catch them on the fresh tab about 75% gets lost in the shuffle.

I'm mixed.
It was easier to watch the flow of new deals with the popular tab. But that's also because I sit at a computer most of the day and I can check back on deals.woot every once and a while. With the changes, it's a little more difficult to locate the newest deals as every time you click on questions it goes back to the top tab, not the tab I was on (newest/user). So, it makes it a little more of a pain.

Now, with the new changes, if I don't have time one day to check deals.woot it is much easier to find the higher rated deals of the last day or two. So in this sense, I like the change.

I still miss the old deals.woot... but like most things in life, you adapt and deal with it... All you can do is hope that the next big change woot does is for the better and not for the worst!

I stick around for the community.

I am OK with it.

man, I just have to add that I consider it an awesome bonus how well the Top system works on AtW. There still may be some need for a "sort by last comment" feature, but man this is miles and above better than the unreliable popular flow was for finding questions. People seem to be intuitively understanding the way it works and voting the questions more.

It means I look at the first page of "top", then click "popular flow". Extra clicks to get to what I want aren't generally good.

Like screaming children, some things you just tolerate. :)

the way it was worked great, the new "whatever..." is confusing - it means it each time you come back to check things out you'll see things in a different order. ditch it, woot, please. or at the very least, make it an option instead of the default.

Eh... I mostly live on the fresh tabs, and had shortcuts for them, so no real change for me.

I do find it interesting to look at the top tab occasionally just to see what the most popular deals and questiosn are, and whether or not I voted for them.

"Top" tab? It's still around? Haven't bothered even to look for it after the frst day, since it's totally useless to me. I now miss a lot of the deals, since I'm not interested in reviewing umpteen pages that were posted since my last check-in, but I'm even less interested in seeing a jumbled-up mess of "zooming to the top" stuff that I may or may not have seen previously.

For me, the change makes the site less functional and less fun. Which means I spend less time here.

@snapster: Ah, now I understand why I don't care for the new system... it's METRIC. I prefer the old U.S. Imperial/Standard system. Kidding! (But not about preferring the old.)
