I used Google Reader for monitoring the CL tool listings, but they're shutting it down July 1st for some reason. Anyone have a good replacement I can use on the PC?
Yes you are. Search RSS reader. It basically pulls search results and notifies you when a new item is posted matching your criteria. C-list allows you to click a link after searching that will save it for your RSS reader.
I use an app called "craigslist notification" which allows me to have many saved searches and it will notify me when an item I'm searching is newly posted.
It is an app that craigslist has somehow banned even though they had nothing to do with its creation. Something about the way it trolls the craigslist servers I think. Anyhow I have the installation file if you want to pm me I'll share it via my google drive...
This one is good. It is so simple it is complicated the first time you set it up. But after that you will get it. It emails me right away when my search comes up.
