Nice recipe! It works only for ebay though... Is there a general one that works for other pages?
Thanks and good reference, greenyoda! It seems they just show diffs between the old and updated page, which has lots of false positive (e.g., change of some ad text or date, etc) and is user-unfriendly. If I could create a cleaner app that detects and notifies not "any changes", but "any new records", would that be a good step forward and help lots of people? Wish I know who are using such services so I could possibly get an idea about potential customers...
Hi Niels-ole, It's great that you are doing this and it looks very cool. I noticed that you were using freelist.org for creating the list. Is it easy to use and manipulate?
I am asking this because we are also building a tool named pickot (www.pickot.com). We do list watches as well and you can very easily change the filters and criteria. We current do not have a ranking system for list but can very easily adapt one if you wish.
Would you like to take a look and see if it is useful to you? Let me know and I'll be more than happy to help!
Best, Wa
Hello, OP here. Can I get some feedback for Pickot? We are trying to make help dev. automatically track information of any site for new and desired content. Anyone has a comment on this? Thanks!
I tried.. Non of my emails shows as being tracked though..
