Woot and Amazon, Together Forever

I’ll make no bones about it, woot.com sells junk. The nice thing about that statement is that they agree. Heck, they’re proud of it!

In an e-mail today from Woot, I learned that the venerable pushers of plastic have been acquired by Amazon (another plastic pushing company, but one that actually has stuff you’d want). A post on their site today is an excellent specimen of their quirky culture and deep inkwells – the excerpt below:

Nevertheless, don’t worry that our culture will suddenly take a leap forward and become cutting-edge. We’re still going to be the same old bottom-feeders our customers and readers have come to know and love, and each and every one of their pre-written insult macros will still be just as valid in a week, two weeks, or even next year. For Woot, our vision remains the same: somehow earning a living on snarky commentary and junk.

Congrats to Woot – long may you, er, whatever you do. Ahh – the merging of one beautiful company and another company, one with a great personality.
