A new service to perform prices checks immediately via twitter and return them to users. To request a price check, tweet #pricecheck followed by the name of the item you want priced out. Currently providing best prices on Amazon; more to come soon. This service was built with Node.js.

    Great idea, I'm getting undefined as much as real answers so far...

    Is there a way of specifying UK only? How do you get past the twitter API limits?

    I presume the domain redirects to a Twitter feed, as I get a Twitter account suspended message :/

    Since the account is suspended, what did it do?

    Should be fixed now!
