The woot! Widget, by B.N. and S.O., puts the daily woot! from www.woot.com on your desktop. It also tells you if the daily woot! is sold out and if a woot-off is currently happening.
It seems that the 'sold out' has stoped working. I LOVE this widget!!

The widget does refresh faster when a woot-off is happening. I believe it's initially set to update every minute during a woot-off, but can be adjusted in the preferences. I sent an e-mail to Dave to get the updated widget with the percentage left and will update the widget with that code incorporated.

That's a good idea. I'll look into it.

Nice work on the widget, I think it's a great.....one recomendation and this is how truly slothful i am but it would rule if an audio notification would be added when the item changes, especially for woot-off days. That way everybody could be in the vicinity of their computer and just hear the sweet sounds of a new woot and come a-running.

Like Tom I showed up in search of a widget so that i wouldn't have to wait for the webpage to load during a wootoff

Great gadget. Only one suggestion and that would be to refresh very often during a woot off if the item is sold out. Also, someone suggested seeing the amount left, that would be nice to, but really would like to see it refresh every few seconds when the item is sold out durin a woot off
