Runs your search on craigslist once an hour and notifies you about new listings.
Sends emails or text messages.
Lets you set additional filters in the form of keywords to include or exclude. This is in addition to any craigslist filters you used (such as price, keywords, has pic, etc.).
Works for any city or category.

Good idea, but who wants to deal with people outside your local? Craigslist is for local goods/services.

It's a great option but I think CL frowns upon such things, though as I recall they sent some cease and desist notices to similar sites in the past. They really do want it to remain a local type thing.
That said, I could have used it in the past. I spent hours looking for something on all of the CL's nationwide. Not all of the sellers will only deal locally. It's not just to be able to deal locally. Some like it because it saves them ebay fees, etc.

It's good because there may be several areas on Craigslist within driving distance. I regularly search my CL (Indianapolis) and there are several others within two hours of me (Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, South Bend, Muncie, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, Bloomington...) It's nice to roll them into one search. For a while now I've had several different RSS feeds in one folder in an RSS reader. That is OK, but hopefully this will streamline things a bit.

Well, looks like you can't search multiple locations with this. Oh well.
