Easy way to find used kites
Last year I made a little web app that searches the classifieds sections of the major kite forums and outputs the data on my website. Was going to
make it a full fledged website but never got around to doing it....
The web app still works (albeit with lots of bugs), maybe it could of interest to any of you guys?
Check it out http://kitehound.com

Thanks! I can try to link some other forums, Im just not familar with any of the UK ones. So far I linked foilzone, powerkiteforum,
bayareakiteboarding, nwkite, and chicagokitesurfing which are predominantly american.
Name a forum and I can try to get it to work?

Alright guys when I find some time, I'll add some more forums so you can spend some more money on kites you don't need...or actually need!
Throw all the feedback youve got at me, negative or positive, it doesn't matter, it can only help.

It updates every 24 hours, which is fine because it picks up around 5 new posts daily.

The problem is that some of the posts are parsed wrong making big errors which is the big issue.

Sorry It took a little while but I added a few more forums and made a separate UK section.
Just in case anyone is still interested!
