Be the First to Know
We all tend to have our list of favourite websites and Blogs that we look at from time to time. I came across a great utility website the other day that can let you know when a web page changes. Rather than opening up all of your favourites and going thru them one at a time Web page monitoring can do it all for you and send you the results.
Changedetect offers a Free web service that will monitor not a website, but a web page for any changes to it. When I looked at How it Works it is pretty simple from a user’s point. All you do is log into your account, load up the URL of the page you want to watch and then when the page changes you can see it in your control panel. The best part is that the actual changes are colour coded making it easy to see what has changed.
The Benefits of using a web based service for this should be obvious. Like other web based software you don’t need to download anything and run the risk of installing software from an unknown source.
I logged into the Demo admin panel just to get a feel of what is on offer. I was pretty blown away by the Features available. You can bulk import your bookmarks, set up a schedule for monitoring changes in pages and even select the notification option when a page changes.
A Nifty service that I have already signed up to, I give it a big thumbs up.
