You ever had to add 400 members to your watchlist? It takes ages to have to do each one by one, adding a 'corp watchlist' would allow you to just add the whole corp and would show them logging in and out. It could work the same ways as it does with people, there is already a 'add contact' option in corps but all that does is set standing. A few simple clicks that would automatically pull from *evewho* or something would make it way more simpler and better in the long run.

I've had the unenviable task of doing just this in the distant past, and while I admit it would have been nice to have such a feature, something being "nice" and "handy" doesn't mean it's necessarily "good".

I'd much rather see some time spent on actually fixing the contact list functionality itself. Nearly a decade after game release, EVE Online still lacks a reliable contact list. Removing and re-adding pilots to the contact list just to make sure that they're actually online before wasting a agent locate is far more annoying, at least in my opinion, in far more annoying.

you have no claim to other peoples online status at all, even more if they are hostile.
This is kind of free intel should not be available at all for you, so enjoy it as long you can because CCP is going to remove that in the future as I heard.
