My co-founder and I built a desktop app called Woot Agent when we were younger which would tell you when woot.com had a "Woot-Off" [1] sale. It would sound an alarm every time a new item came up for sale, with a special sound for their highly sought after "Bag of Crap" [2]. It had over 25,000 downloads after its first Woot-Off. Sounds so bizarre in hindsight, but a partner at Polaris Venture Partners asked to meet—he wouldn't say how he found me, but I'm sure Woot Agent was how.
