Remember when Woot-Offs were rare occurrences, happening about twice a year, causing productivity at various IT companies to plummet for the day because everyone was refreshing for the great deals? Yeah, that's a thing of the past, since it's been only about a month and a half since the last one—which incidentally had some bargains just barely on this side of meh-town.
But if you're still interested, peep these Woot-Off checkers so you don't have to manually hit F5 on the site every few seconds.

Man, I thought for sure I sent in the exclusive...
Oh well...
I managed to snag a Bag of Crap last Wootoff, but besides that, I've been horribly disappointed the last 5 or so.
Indeed
Must allow javascript for that refreshing, so if you're a Linux fanboy using Links, you will have to hit F5 every few seconds.
Woot Watcher FTW. I found this FireFox extension when it was at version 0.1. It's quite nice. Throws a little Woot thing down in your Status Bar, and during Woot Offs it'll tell you what's being Wooted, how many are left (in percent) and how much it costs (with frequent refreshing). One quick click, and you're there. Screw living for Woot, I'll just wait until something interesting comes my way.
Dang, I hit add to cart and reread everything, then i saw it was "refurbished" and pulled the plug from my PC......
the first woot-off i experienced was this past fall, back when they were indeed rare. my housemates and i stayed up all night, drinking (not something advised to do if you want to avoid impulse woots), and enjoying the snow.
now wootoffs are merely something to get mildly excited about and distract me from my work. meh.
F*** the vacuums!
