Update Scan

Many of you might be using the RSS feed to look at what happens at Cool Blogs. Unfortunately not all web-pages have an RSS feed available (like the page where we moderate incoming comments into Cool Blogs :-)).

Firefox has a great add-on called Update Scanner that can scan web-pages to see if they have been changed and will notify you as soon as a change has occurred. Using it for some time now and don't want to live without it anymore.

Not a bad utility. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while now.

RSS has become quite pervasive, but it hasn't reached every site yet. Thanks for posting this!
