Useful Thing- C4U Scout This program is so simple to use yet provides a function that can be invaluable to avid web surfers and information junkies. Of course, I am both of those. : ) This program resides locally on your system and monitors changes on websites that you specify. Once a site has been entered the program can monitor the site for new links, new images, new email addresses, whether the text has changed and for any specific key words that you enter. It may also be set to ignore routine "periodic changes" made to a site. Here's what the authors say about the program- "The "C4U SCOUT" is a unique program that scans a list of favorite sites that are pre-selected by the user, and locates the changes that have taken place since the last time the user checked in. After C4U SCOUT finds all the changes it notifies the user and displays the changes highlighted and in an easily viewable manner in a browser-like window in the C4U application. The program allows the user to set a list of preferred sites and the parameters according to which the sites will be scanned (e.g. interval between checking and type of content sought - general text change, key word, link, image etc.)."
