So today in class, we received words of wisdom from the creator's of DealCatcher, Tim Patton and Dan Baxter. This site has made a name for itself by keeping the best deals around that can be found online, available in one easy location.
These guys are making incredible use of RSS technology which we predicted future uses for in class about a month ago. The site has just added a RSS feed so that you can watch any particular product, and know instantly when there is a new deal or bargain for it.
These guys are also paving the way in a forum webcrawler search called Kolinka. This is an innovative project utilizing unique sorting techniques even google doesn't use. This system will sort using varies topics headings such as NEWEST COMMENT or MOST REPLYS.
Another feature of Kolinka as stated by Tim Patton in class, "When using Google, you get spamy adword type stuff." Kolinka is an interface that will not contain unwanted advertisment exposure.
Even though Kolinka is not the first to try this idea, the competitor- Soundreader is grossly underrepresentative, outdated, and featureless.

Hey- no problem. I am actually going to keep an eye on some of these RSS feeds. I buy things to resell on ebay- so your RSS can alert me when there is a good deal on something that I can resell for a better value.
