Many copy-cat services have popped up, and woot-off specials always generate lots of excitement

WOOT sells lots of good stuff cheap. Would probably do well in a weakening economy I would think???

With only one item a day, selection and ability to compare is sorely limited

however, the limited nature of the selection artificially increases demand

But by opening woot sites in a bunch of different arenas (shirt.woot, wine.woot, etc.) they could expand that while keeping the clever model.

Have to be careful not to sell too many low quality items or risk community involvement.
