Vanity Search & Destroy: We Give Self-Love A Bad Name
Search engine, search engine on the web – who’s the fairest
e-commerce site of…uh, well, not much rhymes with “web”. But the point
here is, we’re back to gazing lovingly at ourselves as reflected in
bloggery, Twitterage, and forumitude. Here’s what people have been
saying about us behind our backs:
- A Shirt.Woot classic gets customized in the New York Times fashion section. That ripped collar is fab-u-lous, girlfriend. (Thanks for the link, Melissa!)
- And here’s one Virginia Jones modelling the mighty, mediocre MyVu in fine style, complete with fingerless gloves.
- When word of mouth goes wrong: this guy thinks Woot is a website about robot action figures. Maybe we should be.
- Speaking of robots, looks like we’ve helped create another Roomba enthusiast. He named his “ShadowVac”. If you make that decal, we want to see pics.
- Zach Heller places us in the movement toward simplicity on the web, alongside Google and Twitter. You flatter us, sir.
- Get The Most Out Of… names our Twitterbot as one of their 10 Bots to Help You Get the Most From Twitter. We won’t argue.
- A cat-lover suggests a novel idea for the next dot-woot. We probably shouldn’t use SmartPost for that one.
- Shirts on Sale finds today’s Woot shirt scary/freaky, and cites a modern-dance troupe as a possible inspiration.
- Yesterday’s all-TV Sell-Off over on Sellout.Woot sparked a couple of comments about whether you can see a difference beyond 720p on a 37” screen, from Nerdlike and the grandly-named Teton Gravity Research Forums.
- While we’re on the Sellout tip, student-oriented blog College OTR cites Sellout.Woot as part of Yahoo’s ‘quest to become relevant again’. Why, uh, whatever do you mean…?
- This tweet recommends Woot as a place to get schooled in the art of online communication. Enrollment is always open.
- A New Jersey college student was kind enough to include Woot as one of her favorite links,
even though “in spite of selling at discount prices, I still find them
rather expensive” and our shipping “isn’t exactly fast”. Ah, well,
pobody’s nerfect! - Weirdest analogy yet: Two for Tuesday = Bon Jovi.
- Twitter user Nomad Scry feels his old Woot addicton stirring. Aw, come on, one purchase isn’t going to hurt you. And you can quit anytime you want.
- Somebody write this idea down: Woot tees you can print at your desk when your shirt smells funny.
- Our market share is growing among the crucial car-seat enthusiast demographic.
- A happy Shirt.Woot customer gets his face pecked off...
- ...while another one is simply amazed at our sheer awesomeness.
- It’s inspiring to see someone cast their first Derby votes. Ain’t democracy grand?
Yes,
that list of links nourishes our ego…but we’re always hungry for more.
If you’ve seen us around, let us know, even if the venue isn’t as swank
as the NYT Fashion section. And thanks to everybody who keeps spreading the good news about Woot.
