There's an interesting element of IFTTT + community here. I imagine the hard part will be to curate the right curators to prevent spam or too much noise for any one alert.
I can see many Product Hunt alert use cases that could be automated (e.g. alert me when a new bitcoin-related product is posted) but having a human touch can lead to better results and community context that machines lack.
@rrhoover Agreed, human touch seems to be the single most important things in products, nowadays. I guess there are just too many notifications around.
And shameless plug: those curators can use hunting cabin to source alerts from product hunt :) http://www.producthunt.com/posts...
I think the points and privileges are a great way to get new members involved in helping to curate the alerts. I just signed up and I'm excited to see how this site progresses.
