Best Website Change Monitoring Tool / Missing in Review? Orbiscope Tracker
« on: January 02, 2006, 11:42 PM »
Just a couple of tools. I ask about them because:
Orbiscope Tracker:
This looks like a pretty good tool:
all in all it seems to have most of what the other programs have, but two features I find of particular interest are:
a) web page field tracker (e.g. stock price, product price / availability, etc.) and
b) an image change tracker.
Also does anyone know of a tool that will monitor the changes and combine this with extraction. For example, if you're monitoring for a book list for availability and pricing and user rating from Amazon, and you only want to update your database when it does change?
Cheers,
