More times than I care to count I've missed out on an item on Craigslist because I saw the posting too late. A couple of months ago, someone in my area posted a brand new riding mower for $300—new mowers are at least $1000. I found the post a day late and, needless to say, I was kicking myself.

This incident and others inspired the new utility CLHelper. CLHelper makes it easy to monitor Craigslist for new posts. You simply select the Craigslist category, the location, the search terms you're looking for, and how often to search. CLHelper checks Craigslist at the pre-determined interval and notifies you via a popup or an e-mail that a new post matching your search terms has appeared. Click the link in the e-mail or the popup and you are taken directly to the posting on Craigslist in your default browser.
