Neat! But I ran into a few issues. 1) Facebook login does not work, I used Twitter 2) The first time I clicked the Wish bookmarklet on an Amazon product, it just froze, had to do a it a multiple times That said, I can see it using regularly, definitely better than placing items in 'Save for Later' list on Amazon Edit - I am currently a camelcamelcamel user, I love the price tracking on that, do you have any plans on adding that feature

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Yes, we do have price notifications like CamelCamelCamel. It's more rudimentary, but I think that's what the common user would prefer.

1) Did you click on the button from the landing page, or signup page?

2) There's a bit of a problem here where it needs to load the DOM first. I think I need a way to create something that provides better error handling.

How would you say your service is better/differentiates itself from camelcamelcamel?

They're more of a email alert metaservice, I think. Though WishBin gives you price updates and whatnot, they're secondary ideas.

WishBin is wishlist service first, data-piping service second.
