I think RSS is one of the greatest Web 2.0 technologies out there. You can use it for so many things and one of my favorites is notifications on searches on Craigslist. I've been subscribing to various RSS feeds for over 3 years now and it's a huge time saver and has the ability to help me keep current on things.
Anytime you do a search on Craigslist, you'll see a small RSS link on the bottom right hand corner of the results page. If you click on that link it'll display the RSS feed for that particular search. You can then add that feed to your RSS reader (such as Outlook 2007, IE7, Safari, FireFox, etc.) and you'll automatically be notified anytime something new meeting those criteria comes up. There are instructions here.
