Get the Most Out of CW Email/RSS Alerts

Sure RSS feeds and email alerts are pretty common features on a lot of websites; get alerted whenever something is update on the website via your RSS reader or email… blah blah blah. So what’s so special about City Weekend? What City Weekend gives you is the ability to personalize and laser in on the things you want to hear about.


  • Foodie? Get alerted whenever new fusion restaurants open up.
  • Rock snob? Every live music show in your inbox/reader as soon as they’re added.
  • Electronic music head? Get the latest nightlife parties before they make print.
  • Future recovering alcoholic? Get the newest bars or bar events and beat the crowds.
  • The newly homeless? Be the first to snatch up that primo nanlouguxiang apartment with housing to rent > nanlouguxiang

Here’s a handy list of the most popular alerts but remember, every category is subscribe-able. Look for the orange "Subscribe" icon while searching or browsing and click it to make a fully configured subscription. Hint: you can choose which items get included depending on what category you’re subscribing to (ex. location for housing classifieds and restaurant/bar/ect. listings). The sky’s the limit.

Manage your updates on your profile page (click on your username on the upper-right corner when logged in) where you can set how often you get notified: weekly, daily, hourly or for those information junkies: as-it-happens.

So there you have it, awesome ammirite?

Can you provide a widget so that the feeds can be posted other sites?

Something similar to the ChinaBiz widget, but one that works.

Yes, I know how to solve the problem (I use Grazr). It's just that if CW want to increase the number of readers of the feeds then they need to make things easy for people >> provide a widget.

Ok, I didn't actually know of Grazr.com... Cool :) I'm sure widgets will come sometime in the next months.
