I was working on my truck today and thinking about how long it's been since I've really added any mods to a vehicle. It brought me back to the old days of HondaSwap and I randomly remembered Woot!. I realized I haven't thought about it in at least 5 years.
The last Woot thread title on here was in 2013: https://hondaswap.com/search/8326523/?q=woot&o=date&c[title_only]=1
Anyway, I started doing some reading and found an interesting history.
2004: Founded in Texas by a computer parts liquidator
2010: Amazon bought Woot! for $110 million.Woot! still exists as an Amazon company.
https://www.woot.com/
2013: Founders quit Amazon. Some went on to start Mediocre Laboratories.
https://mediocre.com/
2014: The founder's new project is a site called "Meh". Basically a shitty version of Woot....EXACTLY what a jaded tech millionaire would build when they've officially said "fuck it" and have the resources to do whatever the hell they want.
https://meh.com/
Two great interviews with the founder:
2014: https://www.dmagazine.com/publicati...has-a-new-deal-mediocre-corporation/?single=1
2015: http://www.ecommercefuel.com/woot/
Anyway, I just thought I would share a random memory and my internet findings.
