I knew because I followed their twitter (in case anyone is wondering)...that's also how I find out when wootoffs start (because I wake up to 100 tweets!)

@agingdragqueen: Hey you, how 'bout some clarification on that Venus atmosphere question? The CO2 folks were right. Venus' atmosphere supports clouds made of sulfuric acid which make it difficult to see, but the atmosphere itself is composed primarily of CO2.

I don't get involved with companies on fb, so you can count me as another vote to have it here next time.

@meh3884: I guess if you want to pick it apart- I asked what the impenetrable (by eye, at least) part of the atmosphere was made out of which is sulfur. CO2 is not really responsible for blocking our view though you are right that it does comprise the majority of the atmosphere and I could have worded the question better.

@agingdragqueen: Sure sure, just being picky :) Just the science geek coming out of me; clouds are product of a given atmospheric composition, but not actually part of the makeup of an atmosphere. /buzzkiller

@meh3884: true dat. I wrote most of them yesterday out of order and I forgot Saturn, so it's not like I'm a huge expert, oy. I swear, I got near perfect scores in science... a long while ago.

Woohoo! I just got one off the second to last question! The facebook servers must like me more than the woot servers. :-)

I'm glad we played! Feel free to leave any feedback, as I know you have opinions.

Sadly, my job title indicates Social Media junk so I do things externally, but we are aware of the love-hate relationship our Deals peeps have with Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Facebook is too confusing at this point

Wah!? I missed it! Can I get a little warning before these happen? LOL. I could've sworn I've been on Facebook all day.. I guess I don't see random posts from likes on my news feed.

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.
