Amazone acquired Woot.com

I do not know what's on mind of Amazon.com management. The leading online sales sites, buy Woot.com, a retail site that also sells only one item each day. How strange is not it?

Woot which started operation in 2004, displaying only one item each day and close the service was so sold. On Wednesday (30/06/2010) when Amazon acquired woot officially announced, the goods sold is an iPod Nano 8 GB worth 99.99 U.S. dollars.

With sales of models like that, woot becomes easily recognizable. Currently, 2.75 million registered users in the service. Woot founder, Matt Rutledge was famous eccentric even in announcing the acquisition by Amazon include a video on YouTube featuring a rap song by a group of monkeys.

Although a part of the Amazon, woot will still operate independently as well as an online shoe store Zappos Amazon acquired earlier. Previously, Amazon was already close to the woot and have invested in the company of four million U.S. dollars since 2006.
