Woot Website Review

I’m not sure if this website is the same one I’ve seen 1-2 years back so if you do know of any other that uses the same business model, do update us on it. Getting down to a woot! review now, it’s a simple and straight to the point website offering a single item for sale everyday and once the day is up, the product will be taken down.

Yeah, I know it sounds something familiar that I too have heard before either in the past Computimes (NST: Tech&U now) or The Star: InTech. woot! has definetely come a long way since I last visited them.

Your Wedding Gift Registry

Not long ago, I reviewed the portfolio website and wedding website of Jason Gurley. At the end of the entry, I said that I’d like to discuss a new opportunity many might not have noticed happening around the Internet.

Though the opportunist might not agree so much about the idea implemented here because it’ll question ‘asian culture’ but I think other Malaysians today are becoming more modern and tech-savvy on their own.

After all, wouldn’t an online method be great to lessen the worries of a couples already stressing woes about choosing wedding locations, restaurants, photographers, guests and etc?
