Fortunately, David Elliot piped up about the Woot.com widget, which easily and quickly lets you monitor the Woot sites from your dashboard, with a minimum of space taken up. And now I've got two instances of it running on my Dashboard, one for regular Woot and one for the Shirt version. I especially like that it includes Growl notification, too -- if I happen to be working around midnight and a really good deal pops up, I won't miss it.
Of course, you may not want to have something popping up on your Dashboard all the time tempting you to spend money. But if you're already following the Woot empire (and to tell the truth, I almost never buy anything-- I just like looking), the widget is an easy and simple way to stay up to date.

Thank you! This is awesome! For a while I had a web widget up for woot, but it took up too much Dashboard space :(

I've had the woot widget for sometime now. I did use a webclip of shirtwoot for a while but tired of it. The only other web clip I've tried is cigarmonster.com, it worked for a while and then stopped. I tried to create a new web clip for it but it did not work either.

Awesome, I love woot! In fact I have a shirt.woot on it's way to me right now.
Here are a couple of other woot! widgets that you can embed on you blog or profile to show your support for all things woot.

Do you know if Tanga has a widget too? They are much like Woot, but mostly for games.

I built my own Woot! widget.. it looks a little nicer, but the code still needs a lot of work before it's ready for public consumption.
