“Thanks for five years of wooting, wooters!” - Woot!, the mother of all live shopping sites celebrated its 5 year anniversary a few days ago with it’s now traditional Bag o’ Crap surprise.
On the 12th of July 2004, Woot! launched its first sales event. Nowadays it runs four websites and glows with a new look since the beginning of the year.
In the last year, Woot! revealed for the first time their revenue numbers - which raised their official 2007 revenues of $117.4 million to an unofficial level of $130 in 2008.
Already for a while now, Woot! counts amongst the 150 strongest online merchants in the USA in terms of revenue. They also found themselves finally this year in the Internetretailer Top 500.
From the USA to Turkey, there are nowadays innumerable live shopping sites. Even eBay has been trying out the concept for some months now.
Congratulations to the Woot! team for their pioneering work and the 5 brilliant years!
