We all have a list of Web sites that are important to us, such as sites for the software we use, news sites, blogs, etc. While some of these sites change frequently, others remain static for weeks at a time. Visiting all of these sites just to see what's been changed one by one will waste a lot of time of us. Want to get notified instantly when any Web page changes and see exactly what's been changed? Yes, of course. A Web site changes monitor can do all these job for us. Here I will recommend some powerful yet easy to use Web site changes monitor tools to you. They are: URLy Warning, Web Forum Reader, WebMon and OutPosted. Following are the detailed introductions of them. Pick out an interested Web site changes monitor and save your time and energy now!

URLy Warning allows us to be notified when specified web pages are updated or changed, and provides a browser display that marks the newly added and/or removed items. We can chose to be notified via popup alert, email/pager message and in addition, the tray icon will notify us if changes were detected. The program allows us to set a minimum change requirement, and also limit the change to a section of a page (between two keywords). Supports HTTP Authentication.

Web Forum Reader is uniquely designed for reading Internet forums and conferences. We can easily add our favorite forums to Web Forum Reader to stay informed about updates and changes on these forums without loading them in our browser. Web Forum Reader saves us time by showing new and updated topics while hiding topics we have already read. Web Forum Reader will also reduce the amount of data we download compared to regular reading using a browser. Web Forum Reader enables us to read and keep track of our favorite Internet forums without having to use our browser. We can monitor multiple forums from a single interface, quickly browse the new topics with the built-in browser preview, and see the number of new posts across all of our forums at a glance. The program provides a simple step-by-step wizard that guides us through the process of adding new forums. It automatically adapts to the HTML layout of the forum pages by simple point and click actions - no scripting is needed on our end. The results are accurate and worked well with the 3 different forums we used for testing.

WebMon is a Web page update monitoring program. It saves us time and keeps us updated by automatically checking an unlimited number of Web pages at predetermined intervals to see if they have changed. Updates are highlighted with configurable pop-up alerts and sounds. Checks can be made on the whole page or a particular section. It also supports importing of Internet Explorer favorites and Netscape bookmarks. WebMon includes: an alert sound when an error occurs while checking a page, the option to auto-save the list of web pages every 10 minutes, and the option to not reset "new" status when opening a page in browser. WebMon helps us configure OS X's built-in web server to support WebDAV, PHP, and SSL. With WebDAV turned on, our web server acts like an iDisk, allowing us to connect to the WebDav folder remotely, securely, and directly from the Finder, so we can save, share, and distribute our files and folders. We can also use the WebDav folder to share our iCal calendars. WebMon also helps us set up the web server so that we can monitor its log file from a remote machine. WebMon is able to help us monitor any number of web servers from a single remote machine.

OutPosted is an easy-to-use tool that enables us to monitor web pages for changes, and have them emailed to us when they are updated. It offers several different options, that allow us to fine-tune the monitoring results (e.g some changes, many changes, any changes etc.) on a per-site basis. The notification is sent as formatted HTML message that contains the complete, updated version monitored page. The program supports IE cookies, SMTP authentication and customizable check intervals.
