HowTo: Use Page2RSS to monitor web sites
InfoDabble > Tech Notes > HowTo: Use Page2RSS to monitor web sites
Page2RSS is a delightful, free service that helps you monitor web sites that do not publish feeds. It will check any web page for updates and deliver them to your favorite RSS aggregator whenever the contents of the page change.
To generate a feed for a web page,
- Go to the Page2RSS home page and input the address of the page you want to monitor.
- Click the "to RSS" button
- Copy the link to your RSS reader
That's it!
[edit] Why?
Some of the web pages I'm interested in don't have an RSS feed. In fact, even some blogs don't have feeds (we're talking about you, NASA). Page2RSS checks the pages on a regular basis, and whenever it finds a change it updates its RSS feed so the new information shows up in my feed reader.
Examples:
Here's what the Cassini raw images page looks like in Google Reader:
