At the Shop.org Summit in Las Vegas, Woot! founder Matt Rutledge announced Deals.Woot! And at AuctionBytes, there is already a first taste of the newest Woot! initiative that should be coming online soon:

"Deals.Woot.com aggregates deals from other websites, and also allows its community of Wooters to submit deals and vote on the best ones.

While Woot.com is a "daily deals" site, its new Deals.Woot.com website is an aggregator of daily deals - and it is inviting eBay PowerSellers and other online merchants to submit their deals to the site."

For loyal followers of Exciting Commerce, this initiative wont strike you as completely new (see the articles on the Exciting Commerce Stars of 2006 - National and International).

Fortunately, Woot! will do exactly what Dealjger ("Deal Hunter") should have done - to provide an diversified and exciting combination of live shopping and crowdsourcing elements to the market - and in the well-known and proven style of Woot! The video announcement here:

Woot! is at the beginning equally focused on integrating both merchants and users. As soon as the site is live, it will be worthwhile to compare Deals.Woot with Deals.Ebay. While eBay is still fully stuck in its portal-minded ideas, Woot! is one of the few e-commerce players who understands how to operate in a live web environment - and therefore quite rightly has almost 1.5 million followers on Twitter.
