Woot!

Woot! It’s a comment I often leave on a LinkedIn post. 🌻Monique Mills, MBA, PMP® tells me a comment is much more powerful than the like button. I try to listen to what Monique says.

Anyways, I just left that comment this morning. Azola Martin got an internship at PayPal. Woot worthy for sure.

Azola is a freshman in college. This got me thinking, Azola never lived on the internet when Woot.com was a daily read. Was Woot a blog? News site? A web page of an animated GIF of a hamster doing a silly dance?

No! It was an eCommerce site that sold one product a day. The writing on the site was so good people would go and share the site just for the writing. Product of the day be damned. What a site. What a concept.

Anyways, they sold to Amazon. It was never the same. Most things aren’t.

If you’re interested, and why would you be, the earliest I can find myself writing about Woot is 16-years ago. https://lnkd.in/eFNADe6d

PS: Here’s a post of me talking about both the Zune and Woot. Two of my favorite topics in one post. https://lnkd.in/ejYrmBM6
