I posted this because I thought it was an interesting use of technology. What are your thoughts?

Hard to say... I may be wrong, but I'm not sure if Half.com has enough loyal customers to justify the installation of software. While some customers may actually install this there's enough stiff competition out there that'll make sure that the software gets installed and forgotten on the user's machine. Pessimistic, yes, but not impossible.

MyPoints.com is doing something similar... Not sure how loyal their customers are, but I would guess moreso than half.com. It's also similar (in function if not technically) to sidestep.com, which automatically searches for better airfares when you enter a request at a major travel or airline site.
Seems to me that getting info about a better deal is pretty welcome. Isn't that what MySimon was supposed to do?
