Woot Pokes Fun at AP for Quoting Woot Blog in Amazon.com Acquisition Item
Daily-deal Web site Woot took a shot at The Associated Press in its listing for Tuesday’s offering of a two-pack of Sennheiser MX400 in-ear headphones.
When AP reported on Amazon.com’s acquisition of Woot last week, the AP report included content from the Woot Blog. So Woot decided to turn the tables on AP, which charges for use of its content, saying that the news organization owes it $17.50.
From Woot (Note: WebNewser does not charge for quoting its content):
Hey, The Associated Press! Great to see you! And thanks so much for noticing our little blog post the other day.
