Are there any apps for Mac that will monitor a URL and give a notification (visual or sound) when that webpage changes? I know there are a few for Windows, but I can't find anything for my Mac. One I came across was PagePing, but I can't seem to get it to work.

What about an RSS feed?
 
What about an RSS feed?

I found one Apple Script called "Safari Page Monitor" which works ok, but will only check every minute and I literally want to check every 10 seconds. The page I'm monitoring is a store which doesn't have an RSS feed. Basically I'm wanting to be notified the second a product goes on sale - which will be indicated when the webpage changes.

What I found should work though.
