Type in URL and keyword to look for, set search interval and forget it.
Once keyword you are looking for appears on site you will receive email notification with short description and link to article (hopefully :D :D :D)
Why do people not sign up for Mandrill / Postmark / Sendgrid etc when creating an app like this so the confirmation email is delivered instantly and not placed in your junk folder?
App looks good, was thinking about creating something like this for my own use. My use case would be for monitoring a forum 'Whats New' page so we can be alerted if a thread is started about our business. But we would need the alert much more frequently (every hour at least), and wouldn't want the same alert over and over again.
I run IT ops at a startup, and $200-400/month was too much for PagerDuty or Pingdom's Team pricing levels.
We settled on their $50/month plan. Sure, enterprise customers may pay more, granted, but this is a commodity space. Ping, up? Good. Ping, down? Email, sms, webook. Race to the bottom.

Honestly this is something i had in mind for my personal use. It still need lots of work on search engine to look for links smarter and return less not working links.
About audience, well i think anyone could find good use of this. But mainly its good for monitor news sites like cnn bbc aljazeera and so on, and those sites i primary used for testing so it should have best results on them.
Ill look what i can do about email that nothing is found. About open sourcing this project, well im not yet sure what will i do with it...it was just weekend project created by me cause i needed it for my personal use, we will see, maybe ill open source it i coming days
