When surfing Woot, What % of the time are you using a smartphone vs tablet/desktop/laptop?

Jul 29, 2011 9:51 PM

I'd say that I use my smartphone around 65% of the time, and I'll tell you what- Woot has probably the most un-mobile friendly website I have ever come across. What gives? I'd expect a little better from a company owned by Amazon. Every time I use my phone to check out Woot, it makes me want to do it less and less.

97% desktop, 2% Woot Watch app for iPod Touch, usually during woot offs, 1% Safari browser on ipod.

So I take it no one else uses their phone?

I agree the mobile version of deals.woot is unbearable... so 100% PC usage.

98% Desktop, the rest Laptop/Netbook. Most of my machines purchased from Woot, BTW.

@iggz: Alas, I do not have one. I used to and am waiting to decide on my next one. Its been over a year now. I am having trouble deciding if I really want it.

@jumbowoot any plans on creating a mobile friendly site?

(All amounts approximate)

Mon-Fri: Desktop 95%, Nook Color 5%
Sat-Sun: Nook Color 70%, Desktop 30%

Total: Desktop 76.4%, Nook Color 23.6%

With the NC, it is claiming to be a desktop for sites, so the appearance is the same, though a more tablet-friendly site would be nice / dangerous.

I use Woot Watch on iPhone quite a bit. Anyone have an iPhone or iPad app with Deals.Woot support?

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.
