Hi all,

I'm trying to track changes to a webpage, i.e. any change or update by the publisher to a webpage, I want a notification about it. This would happen when a new entry is made, or a new event is advertised, or similar.

Is this possible? Receiving an email, or a desktop notification would be ideal.

Thanks!

While RSS does provide details about new posts, events, etc., it warrants a clarification from the original poster. Are you interested in monitoring website design changes? I.E., a price drop on Amazon? If so, RSS does not accomplish this (as far as I am aware). There are a handful of free tools (or paid) to accomplish what you are interested in.
