There is a problem.
Many auction websites have a "wanted" section, where people can
post what they want. They usually go unnoticed because they're
relatively few and it's very unlikely that someone will have one of
the items listed there. It would be nice if a bot would check my
wishlist periodically and search the web for matching hlistings (or
matching sellers at a different auctions site) and notify me about
it if I want to.
It could also have other uses, but I'm keeping those a secret for
the time being, I think one reason should be enough, no?
You will still have to tell your crawler the urls it should crawl, it
can't crawl the whole web and find only *your* wishlists. So, if the
crawler knows the URL to look at, it doesn't matter how the content
is marked up, semantically. XOXO and/or hReview for items is enough.
The crawler looks at all hReview entries on the page and stores them
in a database. Then it can do whatever you want it to.
Best,
Alex
