Need Beta testers for craigslist bot

Post by phdatabase »

I recently started spending a lot of time checking craigslist for the odd programming jobs. It's such a hassle to get on site and then cycle through the categories and wasted a lot of my time. So I built a bot to do it.

The bot will monitor up to five categories and will show you in craigslist style all the added posts in the monitored categories since your last visit on one page with no clicks. If you don't want to visit the site, enter an email or SMS address and the bot will notify you when there are changes.

Please check it out.
