Hello to everyone at Bitcoin talk.
I've been working on a project over the last month that I think you'll be interested in.

Everyone wants to be the first to know about pre-orders.
I'm tired of checking dozens of websites and forum threads for news on mining hardware.
Subscribing to newsletters is good, but not all websites have this option, and those that do aren't always reliable.
Why not subscribe to one website that monitors everything else for you?

Website: http://www.CryptoWebMonitor.com

I have created a monitor that checks the websites of various mining hardware developers and sends an instant email on any changes.
The websites currently monitored include:
LTCGear
Crypto industries
Alpha technology
Black arrow store
And more. Others are in the pipeline and suggestions for additions to the list are welcome.

Email alerts will be permanently free but with donations appreciated.

A member of this forum has been very generous with a donation and more than covered my initial costs for setting up text alerts. If he wishes to reveal himself here then that's up to him. Text message alerts are working for a small number of beta users but I plan to roll them out fully on week commencing 27th Jan. Texts will cost 0.1mBTC each and you will get a few free to test out with. The price will come down if I can negotiate with my service provider.

A note to website admins; the monitor will not DOS attack you. It is limited to one request every 15 minutes which I think is reasonable. Widespread use of this service will mean that news of your products will spread faster and easier with no extra effort from you. Both parties benefit.

That's all I can think of for now. Questions, comments or suggestions all welcome.
