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

Love this widget! I modified the code so it would show the percentage remaining during a Woot-Off. Scott, if you would like a copy for future revision, email me at dave@buscoblog.com. All others please wait for an official revision.

From "what is woot?" on woot.com:

"I see some orange flashing lights on the main page what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of …Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)"

You will also see a orange flashing light on the widget a woot-off happens. More
