How cool would it be to have a slickdeals RSS feed available in XML or RSS format. This way uses can show slickdeals information on their page and provide a link back to slickdeals.net.

Also, a Google Homepage tool. RSS can also be used on user's personalized MSN, Live, or Yahoo homepage.

I can't get the RSS to work from the forums... is it down?

www.netvibes.com is pretty sweet.

if you are using wap enabled device (e.g. a cellphone), you might want to try this.

There's http://www.slickdeals.net/wap.php for the homepage.

For the forum, it will try to auto detect if you're using a wap enabled device. There isn't a url to it at the moment but you can use http://forums.slickdeals.net/archive/index.php/?pda=1 to get the lite version. You won't be able to login or post though.


Good Luck :)

hmm....

compare that link to this one http://feeds.gawker.com/lifehacker/full

Under each link it shows a picture if it has it, and then it also shows a description. SlickDeals doesn't have it on the main page, but all the forums have it.

The WAP page is awesome.
