I guess I should have mentioned this as I was doing it, but I've updated the widget again to use the new RSS feed and added a couple new features. A "Buy Now" button that goes straight to the purchase page, and a preference to turn the title scrolling on/off.

I wanted to wait until the woot-off was over so I could test the updated code that takes advantage of the better data in the new rss feed. It looks like it works so I've just sent it to Scott and hopefully he will submit it to Yahoo sometime soon.

Forgot, I also fixed the animated woot-off rotating light image to loop infinitely.

If I don't hear from Scott soon, I might try and submit it to Yahoo myself. It's been a while since he has popped up here, so I have no idea if he is still wanting to manage this widget.

I'm choppin' at the bit waiting for an update to this! Thank you dydimus for jumping on this!

I've uploaded it to Yahoo!. I'm not quite sure how they will handle an update from someone other than the original author.

Hey dydimus, i just tried to d/l the widget, but it's still not connecting to the Woot! servers :(
