Regarding Camelizer functionality on other sites

May 12th, 2010 by dan

It was just brought to my attention that amzease.com is embedding the Camelizer — our Firefox and Chrome browser extension — into their Amazon-related product pages, as seen below.

You know what they say: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Update

It looks like this is a problem with someone at Amazon (accidentally?) embedding the Camelizer’s price history chart popup code into product descriptions, which third party sites then publish and end up displaying our charts too.

A movie everyone should own

February 8th, 2010 by dan

As a child of the 90s, I couldn’t let this bonafide Top Drop go unnoticed.  Fellow camel enthusiasts, I submit to you Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II – The Secret of the Ooze on DVD.

This morning around 1:30am, its price dropped from $9.99 to $5.49; that puts it within $0.50 of its lowest price ever, and since that was way back in November 2008, I think the current price is quite a good value.

Eat a slice of nostalgia pie and snag this movie at Amazon.com.  And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll be watching it in two days or less and the shipping will be free!

Add price history chart to Best Buy product pages

September 13th, 2009 by dan

Thanks to the addition of a Greasemonkey script for Firefox, you can now view our Camel price history charts from within the product pages at BestBuy.com! It looks like this, nice eh?

Get the details and install the new Greasemonkey script from its page at camelbuy.com.

UPDATE: All of our Greasemonkey scripts have been replaced by our new Firefox add-on.
