I just posted about using Maxthon Groups for tracking other people's blog posts where I left comments, or posts I simply wanted to track.
Forget that. Dumb idea. I just discovered WebMon (written by yet another smart Brit) after investigating a number of other web- and client-based options. Web page monitoring is definitely the way to go for my particular desire of tracking blog posts, and from initial use WebMon appears to be one of those utilities where in the future I'll think “how did I ever do without this???”
WebMon is a simple windows app which installed and runs beautifully on my Windows 2003 machine. It can sit in the Windows Tray and be set for any time frequency you would like for any page. It pops up when any pages in the queue change, with one-click access to the page.
The popup looks like this.
The monitor list window looks like this.
Entering a URL looks like so.
