Did you see that Woot has finally gone mobile?!

"Hold on to your threadbare Uggs, because Woot has finally lurched into the mobile era. Today we announce our first-ever mobile-optimized version. Yes, the young people of today who access the 'tubes on their newfangled cyberphones can get off of our lawns and onto Woot Mobile!"

Woot mobile version using your mobile brower for both apple and android devices is very clean and user friendly now!

An exceptional day!! It will be interesting to see the change in traffic for Woot-offs and BOC's.

I tested it out today unknowing it existed, I must say I do not like it.

I liked the ability to see all the deal pictures on one single page so I know if its something I might be remotely interested in.

I also clicked the "Full Site" link at the bottom of the page, but it keeps redirecting to the mobile version.

Can't see/use it on my phone. Seems to be iOS/Android only.

@mkentosh: hmm, I wonder why.... maybe because it's NOT an app

@miquinn: App is short for application, which has more than one meaning. As in worst application ever (the quality of being usable for a particular purpose or in a special way).

Am I missing where you can easily click to the comments on a deal up near the deal or the write up? I had to click the "community" link at the very bottom of the page to get there. I feel like I was missing something obvious. I saw "discuss this" for the poll, but not the deal. I like it - you can see the write up all on the front page and everything is easy to navigate. It will take a little getting used to I think but I think it will be better than the full site on my phone. At first glance it is much better than most "mobile" versions of a lot of websites, especially stores.

Should make it an app with push notifications since it's not a deal a day anymore.

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.
