Today an article about camelcamelcamel got picked up and published by a few Mom-oriented sites, the biggest of all apparently being moneysavingmom.com.  So I wanted to extend a warm greeting to all of the moms coming to our site for the first time and finding it worth the effort to sign up.  We love frugal people and you are quite welcome here at the Camel Farm.  I can hardly think of a better use for our tools than saving money for one’s family.

Enjoy your stay and please let us know if there is anything we can do to make it nicer / more useful for you.

It took about a week longer than expected but Mozilla has finally reviewed and approved the latest (and greatest?) update to The Camelizer, our price history sharing extension for Firefox. I already announced it fully here, so this post is just to let you know that it is available and you can now actually download it. Firefox will also notify you of an update sometime in the near future, if you prefer to take the automated path.  Thank you for your patience!  Next time I will abstain from announcing the release until it is fully…released.

What are you waiting for?  You should download The Camelizer v1.4 for Firefox immediately!

Remember!  Look at the bottom of your Firefox window for a Camel icon; this is how you access our price history charts in the new version of the Camelizer.

Recently Mashery, the company behind Best Buy’s Remix API, emailed me to let us know that camelbuy, our Best Buy price history site, is so awesome that they decided to put it in their Apps We Like page of the Mashery site.  Why do they like it?  Well, according to the page:

Customers can set price thresholds, plan their purchasing, and act in real-time. Merchants get faster responses to stocking decisions, and fast information about which price points are working.

Sounds reasonable to me!  You can check out Mashery’s Apps We Like page to see our listing there.
