Cool idea (I was almost going to make something similar myself!) but there's a couple of catches for me:
* Your tracked prices are only in USD, whereas I buy/sell in AUD via CoinJar.com.
* Apparently you're only supporting SMS within US/Canada as well? Might be good to make that clear before the signup.
* You have a competitor called BitcoinReminder.com who track several different currencies, a few more exchanges, and even offer alerts via Jabber / IM (as well as Email & SMS). Their site isn't as cleanly designed as yours though, and it's a paid service (whereas it seems yours is free for the moment). They've just signed up their 2000th user after 2.5 years, which might give an idea of market size.
Nice site - and nice to see a new competitor :)
Really nice layout!
And yeah, you are right. It's hard to earn money with it. Our service had been for free for a long time.. But without earning money, its hard to pay the server costs (beside earning something for your life..).
But in the meantime its getting better and better.. :)
Good luck! :)
Btw: We implemented a new type of reminders, feel free to try it :P

But it's a neat idea & a good name for it too!
