    Hello,

    I am about to start building a new website/script for executing automatic tasks on your website.
    I just want your opinion ... will you guys use/need such service
    I know many will say - Why don't you just set a cron job - most basic-mid users don't know how and many just don't have cron available.

    For those who still wonder what I am talking about here is an example:

    Website www.hypehumor.com needs to run a URL every hour to update its content. With this new website/service you will be able to paste the url you want to run and set the time how often you want it to run. Then save it under your user profile and it will run every hour (or the time you set) till you stop it. You will also be able to see statistics/

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks

    Sounds like a good idea, however, I think you need to do a market research to find out the market potential and capacity. I think you goals would include making some money while helping, right :)
