1. We attempted to white list the recently added and most popular lists by trusted sites. It seems amazon sells adult toys, so we will have to tweak that filter a bit...
2. Very true, I'll switch that to something more user friendly
Good idea, I'll see how feasible it is to work that in. We are slowly adding more sites as we discover their API's and such. We hope to at least cover all the main shopping sites.
I am seeing the FireFox issue, I think the CSS needs to be tweaked a little more. I am investigating the results for the search items now.. Thanks for the bug finding!
1) Its usable forever, its checked by cookies but you could just return to that URL and continue using it. However its possible that another user could add remove things, which is why the password protection exists.
2) That was important to us, glad it came across that way.
3) Thanks, looking into it.
4) We have a number of affiliates including Amazon, hopefully with more traffic we can expand. We are also looking into recommendations and price matching directly related to affiliates.
