How is that bad? So, basically, from what I’m seeing, I now have two ridiculously low-priced products to choose from per day, instead of just one. How is that bad?

I can't imagine why people are getting so bent out of shape with them copying the woot.com site to a new directory, changing the color from yellow/green to Yahoo purple, and assigning a vhost of sellout.woot.com to this new, different colored copy. Basically, you now get two woot offers a day instead of one. *shrug* Maybe I'm missing something. Wow.

Sure, Woot is very grass-rootish, and Yahoo is a conglomerate, but it does look like Sellout.Woot and Woot will be two distinct sites. Good job for them for becoming popular enough that a big fish took notice (and didn't completely take over and rebadge the hell out of it, ala Flickr) It doesn’t really seem like they’re selling out, but rather just making a partnership with Yahoo on a new venture.

Bravo Woot founders. Secretly every fledgling site owner wishes they would be bought out by Google or some other big player so I have no problems with them selling out. Bravo Woot founders.
