It's a cool idea, but I'd prefer to browse myself rather than receive an email :)

I am very interested in your methodology here, though. Are you using the Reddit API or scraping the pages? How do you determine what is a product recommendation? Do you determine quality of the recommendation (eg, "Product X is awesome" vs "Product X sucks")?

Thanks for the feedback! Though currently it's a little slow, let me try to make it realtime.

Reddit allows you to get json format of each post. Basically I'm not doing anything smart, just sort products by total upvotes, which I find quite helpful.
