Caring enough to click a button that says we don't care

There's some irony there, is all I'm saying.

I make it a point to only click it ironically. Unless the item is shit, then I mean it. It's like screaming "You suck!" at a punk show, except with less chance of being tossed in an alley by security.

I have been curious about the meaning of that button? I am new to the entire concept. I had never heard of either site before I joined this one. What is the MEH button for? Good or Bad?
I know mediocre is supposed to be a bad thing, but this is fun and MEH is good value and entertaining…so which is the Meh Meaning?

- You assign meaning to the meh button, we merely offer you the choice to press it or not.

So clicking MEH is totally meaningless to the powers that be? If it is totally mMEHNINGLES than just click it for the cute picture? It doesn’t mean “Gee these guys really like this” or “Oh this was a Lead Zeppelin?

Oh and BTW I was looking at the “Other” site and they have a Woot off every now and thenIf MEH comes up with something like it . I hope MEH doesn’t do that the way they do it. The only way to know that it is happening is apparently totally visual. I am a blind consumer. Please don’t leave me out if you come up with one of them!!!! I already am sad I missed out on not knowing about all the fun you all have been having over the years. I whish I could have been a part of the FUKU fun! Way cool!!! Can't stop laughing!!!

The www.woot.com site. I haven't actually incountered a WOOT-OFF yet as far as I can tell, but according to the FAQ It is incdicated by flashing orange lights. Bummer for me I can't see that if it has happened.

You would think the sales figures would be the biggest indicator if the product is shit not the funny face button.

Gees I tried to reply last night from my phone but it didn't stick! It is kinda hard to do from the iPhone with voice over. Not sure what I did wrong.
Thanks for the Woot stalker pointer. I might just do that. Screeming banchies would be a good ensentive! Buy it or risk going deaf! Who wants a double wammy! Hahahaha
