Library Cataloging
Sometimes in cataloging it is important to track a Web site for changes. I have link checking software, Xenu, but that only lets me know when the site has moved or been taken down. I had been using Infominder for tracking changes to important pages, but then they began charging. I've been without a tracking tool for several months. Now, thanks to Steve at Library Stuff, I have a new tool, WatchThatPage.

Keeping Up with Changes
Sometimes in cataloging it is important to track a Web site for changes. I have link checking software, Xenu, but that only lets me know when the site has moved or been taken down. I had been using Infominder for tracking changes to important pages, but then they began charging. I've been without a tracking tool for several months. Now, thanks to Steve at Library Stuff, I have a new tool, WatchThatPage.
WatchThatPage is a service that enables you to automatically collect new information from your favorite pages on the Internet. You select which pages to monitor, and WatchThatPage will find which pages have changed, and collect all the new content for you. The new information is presented to you in an email and/or a personal web page. You can specify when the changes will be collected, so they are fresh when you want to read them. The service is free!
