Bots Feed Travel Deals

A new feature on Kayak.com enables travelers looking for bargains to let web bots do the work for them. The "Fare Watch" feature, which launched today, will email or send a message via AOL IM when a flight is found that matches your price.

This Priceline competitor searches most major carriers and has a slick interface that makes it easy to search for flights.

Bots such as this make sense for time-sensitive purchases such as real estate (huge!!) or concert tickets. These guys should hook up with craigslist to offer an enhanced service that people would gladly pay a few bucks for.
