I also ran into the same issue where CamelCamelCamel doesn't check prices frequently enough. I started an an app that checks the price every few hours, and also works on stores other than Amazon - https://PriceLasso.com

Same. I made a chrome extension years ago to enable this on desktop Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/selectable/jcidlhgd...
There isn't a great workaround for mobile apps though.
I'm the cofounder of https://PriceLasso.com where we do price tracking and price drop alerts on 150+ sites, and so far seeing little in the way of price increases.
Some news sites reported Logitech products went up in price, but from we can see these are normal seasonal patterns.

PerfectLeads.com also lets you do this, but also lets you find the right companies to contact in the first place.
If you are a mobile web developer, you might want to target restaurants that are not mobile friendly, and have a certain level of traffic (alexa rank). Sure you need the email address, but firstly you also need to target the right companies. That's why I made PerfectLeads.
There's also http://www.perfectleads.com but that's oriented more towards lead prospecting for sales.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Is the problem happening when using the up and down arrow keys, your laptop's trackpad, or your mouse's middle scroll wheel?
Here's how it helps my productivity: About every hour I take a break to stop working and check many different sites - google news, the weather, adsense earnings, and stocks. I end up navigating about 10 different websites in a linear process, which easily takes up a lot of time. SublimeDash solves that problem by aggregating multiple data streams in one convenient place while reducing the amount of time I waste. Also, it looks beautiful and continues to impress anyone who comes to visit me at my desk.
Thanks! Didn't know there were other Bruins on HN! If SublimeDash had AWS integration and possibly more customization, would you consider switching (especially because it's free)?
I agree the definition of "external" is pretty vague, as SublimeDash works just as well on a laptop screen. Monitor definitely refers to a screen with pixels.
Will do soon!
I have 3 monitors: a 23", a 27", and a 13" macbook air from left to right. I keep gmail open permanently on the 23", coding editor on the left half of the 27", coding output on the right half, and http://www.sublimedash.com on the macbook air.
UPDATE: As per popular request, SublimeDash has been open sourced on GitHub - https://github.com/broizen/sublimedash
I'll write up a short guide on how to add a new module as well as requested modules like Google Calendar, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
I'm very encouraged to take SublimeDash to the next level with all the positive feedback from you guys! Thanks!
Thanks for the bug report!
I haven't had a chance to put it up on GitHub, but this is an excellent idea. There are so many sub modules that can be contributed by users - like Google calendar, Gmail unread emails, and Facebook notifications. I've been working on this for a few months as a hobby project, and haven't had time to do all of them.
SublimeDash is currently using JavaScript, jQuery, and PHP to access the weather, stocks, and news API.
Like others have said, Google alerts only notifies you of news articles.
My company http://www.Alertification.com takes a more general approach and alerts you when something on any public website changes. For example, you'll get an email or text message when an Amazon price drop occurs, when a college class opens up, or even when concert tickets go on sale.
Very nice! I made an HTML 5 multiplayer piano that lets you play with others in realtime: http://www.bandwithfriends.com
Try it out!
Google used to link to the actual benchmark test page, as I used to always find the actual benchmark URL through searching Google for "sunspider". While they link to other sites that then link to the actual test page, by removing the actual benchmark link (that used to be the first result for years) they make it far harder to get the actual page. It's indirect, and something fishy is going on.
