Biz: A little Woot! (wait, a big Woot!) for our friends at Woot!

  • Well, that’s the funniest thing we’ve seen all day. Woot.com is one of the coolest concepts for shopping online anywhere, and they’re totally irreverent to boot. And now that Amazon has acquired them, that’s gonna change, right? Actually, no. See, Amazon acquired a similarly irreverent site called Zappos.com about a year ago, and they left the corporate culture alone. The company’s CEO, Matt Rutledge, puts it this way: “We plan to continue to run Woot the way we have always run Woot – with a wall of ideas and a dartboard.” source
