Great site for monitoring forums like Anandtech!

Check this site out ForumHawk.com. Monitors a bunch of forums (including Anandtech) and email you with the new topics. Swing by and check it out. It can save you tons of time.

[Edit]Here's a link to a sample email. You select how often you want to get an email, it sends you a consolidated email with all the new threads posted during that time, to the boards and sites you select.

That would take alot of neffing skills. I'm not up for that. Maybe some like Adul or yakko could benefit from this.

So when 200 new topics are started in OT I can expect 200 emails? No thanks.

It doesn't work like that. Get a sample email from there and you'll see how it's organized.. But basically you select the Boards you want updates about, and how often you want to be updated. It consolidates links to all the new posts on the boards you chose, and sends them in the one email.

Interesting. Though this would be quite cumbersome and irrelevant to the die-hard OTer, this would prove useful to those who really only frequencted the FS/T and/or HOT DEALS forums on several boards. For instance, you can get updated on the new FS/T posts on ARS, HARDOCP, ANANDTECH, and any others all in one fell swoop . . .unfortunately they may be dated and irrelevant at that point . . .all the good deals go way too fast for it to be truly efficient I would think. Which is consequently why no hardcore OTer would ever use it (not to mention the sheer volume!);) Neat idea though!
