Hi all,

I've spent the last few days building a computer hardware product search tool thingy, because I got sick of spending ages trawling through Dabs, etc. for computer bits. It keeps track of prices and so can flag up bargains as they appear. You can also sign up for email alerts for the default search (bargains) or for a search of your choice.

Hopefully you'll find it useful, as I have. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I've given the site the slightly dubious name of http://www.geeker.co.uk/!

Cheers,

Andy

Thats pretty good dude, at the moment i use www.kelkoo.co.uk , but now i can use them both to find the best buy .

good job

Pretty good!

I usually use...

http://www.priceguideuk.com

...but i shall ad that to my favs!

And as of just now, it has RSS feeds:

http://www.geeker.co.uk/rss/ for all bargains (products with a price drop > 20% in the past 7 days)

- or -

http://www.geeker.co.uk/rss/daily/ for daily bargains (products with a price drop > 20% in the past day)

Of course, you can customise the RSS feed as well. Say you were looking for an LCD monitor bargain: http://www.geeker.co.uk/rss/%25%3A20+lcd+tft.

Now thats pretty darn good! good job man, you'll be saving people money from all over the UK .

Very handy site to have on my favourites .

Glad you like it!

I've added a bookmarklet thingy on the FAQ page, so you can search the site easily from your links bar.

I've just updated all the products as well, so there are some new bargains in there. One that I'm particularly pleased with is the Belkin 802.11g USB adaptor for 25 quid, as I was planning to buy one for my girl.

Ultimately the product update will run nightly, but I'm still keeping it in check until I'm fully happy with it.

Looks good andy! Just out of interest, are you interfacing directly with these stores sites, or have you written a clever spidering program?

Tis a little bit of both!

Interfacing? Spidering?

Tell us more about this spidering and interfacing.......
