interesting service, love the idea. Several points of feedback:
1) after creating an account, it should log me in as that account. The extra step of logging in is extraneous.
2) unclear where the search is monitoring. Particularly if I change my location, does that update where the search is performed?
3) some of the areas are close enough that I'd like to search in more than one area. For instance, I'm in Vancouver part of the time and Victoria the rest. I'd love to search both places. I guess I could create two search profiles, but that seems redundant.
4) the "+watcher advanced" and "+private links" pages could use some additional explanatory text.
Just a few things to think about. Overall I like it, though!
1. Originally I didnt implement that to stop bots but I dont think its an issue now. I will change it. Facebook login goes straight in.
2. Yep when you change your location all your watchers will be watching the sites for the new location. Search runs every 5minutes.
3. Interesting suggestion, I will have to think how to implement that. You can also set a provice wide search, if you select your locaton as just the province.
4. agreed
thanks again, hope it helps you find what you are looking for.
