Why can't I stop following "woot"?
I've stopped following "woot" (both via the web interface and through my IM client) and I continue to get their messages in my instant messenger and on my Twitter page. Make it stop! PLEASE! They're driving me crazy!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?When the messages come in via im, do they have the user name woot in parenthesis? Like this:
(woot): Woot-Off : $39.99 : Hawk Apache Double Prop R/C Helicopter www.woot.com
If messages from woot arrive with the name in parenthesis, then it's because you're tracking keywords that are showing up in woot's messages.
To check what keywords you're tracking, send 'track' via IM.
If the messages are not arriving with the user name 'woot' in parenthesis then it's something else. -
Inappropriate?Nope, no parenthesis. I did a "track" in my IM and it tells me I'm not tracking anything. Here's a sample message:
woot: Woot-Off : $29.99 : Razer Pro|Type Multimedia Keyboard with iPod Dock www.woot.com
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Could you kindly try blocking the account to see if that might help?
1. Log in to Twitter.
2. Go to http://twitter.com/woot
3. Click Block (at bottom right, in the sidebar.)
4. Click OKAY to confirm the block -
Inappropriate?Well, nuts. For a bit, I thought it had worked. Then I got:
woot: Woot-Off : $8.99 : Soyo Freestyler 500 Bluetooth Headset and Bluetooth USB Adapter www.woot.com
Arrgh!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I'm at a loss. I guess we have to wait for Twitter tech support to investigate.
I’m perplexed

Inappropriate?I think 'BLOCK' worked for me. Haven't heard anything from woot in a while. Finally!
I’m thankful
-
Inappropriate?I hope it worked for someone. I was just offered a digital camera and a webcam. Ahhh!!!
I’m silly
