Exclamation sites Woot! and Yahoo! team up!
Oh the humanity! It's a bird, it's a plane! In the course of human history, there have been many sentences that demanded an exclamation point. But very rarely, if ever have we been able to issue three completely appropriate exclamation points in one sentence: Woot! and Yahoo! have announced a partnership!If you don't get it yet, the exclamation points are actually part of both company's names.

Occasionally the site goes crazy and has a Woot Off where as soon as one item sells out another is made available until the company decides it's over.
Apparently Yahoo! has approached Woot about offering a daily Woot item through Yahoo! Shopping. Starting at midnight tonight, there will be a new Woot item available from the front page of Yahoo!

And Yahoo! gets a little geek cred, and a daily sale item for its front page.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
