Have you used your local.woot invites?
i'll admit, i haven't been over there in a few days (an unexpected event occurred). but, i went over today and i saw 'invite (3)'. so, i'm just wondering if people have used their invites.
or, if anyone wants an invite (i've only got 3 though). but, maybe if you leave a message here, another Q operative would be willing to help you. so far, local.woot is only available for dallas, new york, seattle and st. louis. according to snapster, more cities are coming soon (no word on which cities though). i figure bigger markets will be added first and then smaller ones. but, don't expect crawfordsville, IL to ever get added.

IL's best shot is Chicago...
I received an email from Matt inviting me to "Join us for a sneak preview as we embark and meet your local wooters!" at local.woot, but when I've tried to sneakily preview the site, I'm rejected every time. It may be because I was on vacation for a week during which my rep dropped 15 points because I (gasp) didn't check woot, who knows? Anyway, I haven't been able to get on it yet.
@jsoko: yeah. i was just making fun of a friend of mine that's from crawfordsville. chicago is an obvious choice, but there also a bunch of outlying communities like oak park, naperville, aurora etc.
there's also some big college communities in southern illinois (champaign/urbana, carbondale, etc).
@snapster, you're the best! Thanks, got my invite, and am already salivating over today's taco deal! was wondering what to do for lunch! THANK YOU!
I can't believe Local.Woot isn't in Knoxville, TN yet! http://local.woot.com
:/
I could help out with invites too since I have no friends in any of those cities...(see what I did there, made it sound like I have friends in some city somewhere :/ )
Used all my invites!
Really no Houston yet?
i'm hurt. i've been buying crap (in and out of bags) here since 2005 and no one asked me to join. :(
poor me.
maybe they're not local in new york.
anyone want to share an invite?
party on!
@muddyh2o - you have been invited.
Dammit. See, this is why I hate the internet. And Woot! specifically.
Before I read this thread, I didn't even know this existed. Now I have this sort of soul-crushing feeling of being left out. Even though since I live in Florida it's of no use to me and, as mentioned, I didn't even know it existed before.
Maybe that's the same reason I have a shelf full of Hip-Hop Hippies and Coleman Fish Pens purchased from Woot! that I haven't used yet?
@bingo969: I just sent you an invite :)
@carl669: thank you! and I've already passed the love on to some woot-loving friends.
@muddyh2o: you're welcome!
alas, I have not been invited to participate.
@natedogg828: invite sent.
@carl669 Thanks, can't wait to check it out later tonight when I get home...damn blocks here at work prevent me from seeing my personal e-mail
I'll probably use up my invites once local.woot.com opens up sites for DC, Houston, or Cleveland! Can't wait.
@natedogg828: neither have I and it troubles me deeply wondering how many more wootable things I'm missing out on...
@imtheotherguy: you've been invited.
and, i'm all out of invites now.
I guess I probably got an invite because I live in Texas. But not central Texas, so it didn't do me any good. And I got a 404 error every time I tried to check it out.
Anyone have invites remaining?
I live in central texas and would love ot use local.woot.com, how do I get involved?
@wenlaren: i'd help you, but i'm all out of invites. your best bet is to ask one of the other black triangles in this thread or check in this thread and ask one of them:
That link is dead. Can any black triangle help me out please?
Not to be a begger, but does anyone have a spare invite?
apparently i've been slacking on woot and just discovered the local.woot thing. a bit bummed that i don't have a purple triangle. :(
if anyone's feeling particularly nice, maybe they can toss an invite my way?
@joneholland: Thanks!
I've got 3 myself to pay it forward.
I feel left out, any one have some love to share?
should work - think there are the full 3 still available
Here's my invite link: http://local.woot.com/invite/public/b02de786-2ec3-4afb-85c7-5922f7034fbf?utm_source=beta&utm_medium=url&utm_campaign=Local.Woot%2BInvitation
3 invites up for grabs as of 11pm pacific time, Friday, Oct 7.
@shortman: My invites have been used up.
@joneholland: thank you, so much! :)
If anyone still has invites I would love to have one.
@r3zurector: sent
I have literally JUST learned of local.woot's existence and I've not yet been invited. But from it's description, it sounds fantastic. I love woot like Angelina loves babies from other country's, and Craigslist is cool too. So if those two are now fused into one with the new title local.woot, well, then, thats just dandy.
I'm in the Seattle area, and would like an Invite if anyone has one left. I just found out about this myself.
Can i get an invite from someone if possible?
