Anything that can Notify me of Site Updates?
Hello, I hope you are well.

I am waiting for a specific Web site to update (it's supposed to update once a week at any given time), and checking back at the site several times a day probably isn't the best way to do it. Is there any program or Web site that will notify me, preferably via e-mail, if a specific Web site is changed or gets updated?

Thanks.

Note: I could not fit this question into any forum category, and after about five minutes of deciding, I thought I'd just put it here and a mod can move it as he or she sees fit. Sorry for the trouble.

Moved thread to Software, as that's what you will need for the task.


There are a number of add-ons to Firefox that will monitor a site and notify you of changes. Most of these only work when you have a tab open to the site page in question.

Wow, that sounds really great. I just checked https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ but could not find any though. Do you know any of them by name? Thanks.

Ah, "monitor" sounds like a great term to use. Unfortunately, I did not think of it and have been trying things like "notifier" instead. Thanks!

I use the FF extension check for change. It's wonderful. It has a lot of options, including a very useful one that lets you navigate away (I often do that forgetting it's the check4change tab I'm on) and it'll just pull you back when it reloads. It can alert you of a change, or you can have it keep checking for infinity.

Were you dropped as a child, or did this level of stupidity just come natural?

Try clicking on the link provided in the third or fourth post and try to refrain from posting bullshit, particularly in threads that are six freakin' months old.
