This is close – but not quite there yet. I want the title, link to the post, summary, etc. – not just a link. Give me the ability to apply right from my aggregator or explore for more information if necessary.
More job sites like Craigslist need to offer RSS feeds. Instead of going to the site to check on my stored queries, I would like to receive the them as RSS feeds.
I have always thought this would be a natural fit for other classified products as well. For example, deliver listings for cars that match my query via RSS. In the long run it would make the site more useful, more personalized. I don’t visit many sites that often anymore; especially if they don’t offer high value/high need content. More than likely I would forget that I had a saved query in the first place.
Email does offer similar functionality, but it tends to get lost in the clutter and with corporate spam filters on the rise much of this might get filtered out.

On Saturday night at the Geek Dinner. Someone told me that Craigslist.org publishes RSS feeds. I got my NEC job on Craigslist. This is great for people trying to sell things and find jobs.
