Should Woot have a section specifically for Black Friday?

Oct 19, 2011 10:04 PM

I think it would be cool to be able to share and find deals specifically for the event, leading up to it and maybe the few days/hours before. Might actually fit more in Local.woot. Thoughts?

It's Black Friday everyday on Woot!! I think like any other day the better deals will rise faster then the not so stellar deals. So I am good the way it is..

Wouldn't mind seeing a local Philly Woot though.... ahem

Nah - would be too hard to distinguish between BF and all the other deals.

Additionally it appears that Woot is not structured to display flyers/circulars/whathaveyou. Most of the sites that have BF sections have the ability to do this and/or display long lists of items per post.

I am sure that deals.woot will include a bunch of BF postings that are available online. There are already so many BF sites - not sure we need another.

deals.woot was built for things like black friday. unless there is a crab or bacon revolution going on, the "top" listing will help pick out the very best deals.

I'm excited for Black Friday, but I also think that this website is going to help clean out the good deals. Lets just hope I can help clean them out, instead of being last to the table like last year!

I wasn't too impressed by Black Friday last year anywhere. I kept thinking that there would be better deals - but I am only now seeing the TV deals I was looking for, and of course I want newer technology. Besides, I am very cheap- or should I say frugal.

I'm not sure how robust this site is but they have pretty good traffic and you can sign up for email alerts:

@ohcheri: I'm signed up for that one and another. They are both very good sites, and I don't have to sign up each year, as I've been getting their emails for at least 5 years starting in early October each year. It's a good way to plan the BF shopping trips and pick the stores/sites I want to visit. And, No for Woot to have a BF site or section.

@chrisgame: Bfads.net is the site I've used for several years now. They seem to have ways to get the scoop early and are usually dead on accurate.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
