BuyLater: Firefox Addon to get Alerts for Amazon Items
Although I do not shop much online, but I do bid on some auctions from time to time, and most of websites I use have a feature were you get alerts either by email or SMS when the price or status of the item has changed.
BuyLater is a firefox extension that alerts you by either email or twitter (which could be forwarded to your cell phone) everytime the status or price of your item in amazon has changed, it does so by adding a “Buy This Later” button bellow Amazon’s “Add to Shopping Cart” button. So for example if the item was out of stock you will be emailed when it becomes available, or if the price changes.
When you are viewing an item you already added to your “Watch List” the button will be “You’re Watching This”. Ofcourse the extension is only available for Firefox and Flock, and it works only with Amazon, and you can easily maintain your items watch list online.
I believe that Amazon will eventually add this kind of feature themselves. I wonder why they didn’t until now.

I know that earlier I have said that Buzzword is great and questioned why is Zoho and Google and others are so fixated on using AJAX and so on. I have used nearly all sort of online word processors like Google Docs and Zoho Writer and Buzzword and others, I also was invited to try some private betas of other services. All have their pros and cons, but today I found out that Zoho Writer is the best.
