Lifehacker on Greg's Pulse

On the day following our launch, Greg's Pulse was featured in an article published on Lifehacker: Greg's Pulse review on Lifehacker.

It's flattering to be noticed so quickly, and with this early reaction comes both encouragement and highly needed criticism:

You probably wouldn't want to use something like Greg's Pulse with a lot of things, but if you're on an apartment hunt or doing something similar in which every second counts, it could be a worthwhile service.

And here's their take on our current pricing:

It's a nice service and all, but if you need it for more than a few alerts for a short time, the price seems a little off the mark for what we'd be willing to pay.

We're in a process of working out a slightly different (but not to a great extent) pricing model, and the website will be updated to reflect this soon.

In the comments an issue with our current link analysis algorithm was mentioned. Currently, a small percentage of links which users try to monitor are being falsely reported as containing nothing of interest (e.g., no RSS feeds). This is definitely something we are looking into, and the blog will be updated once the issue is resolved.
