awr rss

I’ve always been a little annoyed when I want to track a web page or website and there’s no RSS feed to be found. You can’t just pop the feed in your feed reader and let it receive updates quietly. I mean its 2010, there should be RSS for every single website, right? No. Apparently this convenience is still lacking in most places on the internet.

But there are a few ways around it. 4 of them in particular. They work really well for most people and they can help you to track changes in any webpages that don’t have a ready made RSS feed.

1. Change Detection

A free service that’s been running since 1999, ChangeDetection.com provides page change monitoring and notification services to internet users worldwide. Anyone can use our service to monitor any website page for changes.

2. Page2RSS

This tool allows you to create an RSS feed for any webpage. You can then place it in your feed reader to track it. It can even post updates directly to your Twitter account.

3. Update Scanner

Fantastic firefox addon with a good deal of options. It checks for updates and pops up a message right in your browser. Very convenient. Best of all you can set how often to check and what specific text to check. Minor changes can also be ignored. The AlertBox firefox addon does something similar if you would like to try another extension.

4. WatchThatPage
