RSS feed or not RSS feed

Hi,


what software or extension do you use to monitor RSS feeds? (Right now I'm testing RSS live links)
How do you monitor changes on a page that doesn't have an RSS feed?

I use Akregator on pc, it's a KDE application, and Google reader with my smartphone.

For monitoring pages without an RSS feed, there are various plugins and services like Update Scanner for Firefox or also Page Monitor for Chrome.
That said I've never used such plugins, so I can't tell you how good they are.

I used to use Thunderbird but following various issues I switched to Feedreader.

For pages without a feed, you can try the extension Alertbox for firefox.

ah yes... I forgot... I'm on chrome. So I'm testing Page Monitor for pages without an RSS feed and I'm continuing with RSS live links which seems to work well.

Thanks for your answers :74:

For me the best is still Google Reader + the Firefox extension "Google Reader Watcher" which alerts on every new post in one of my followed RSS feeds.
Plus no need for a dedicated app, just the browser open.

And that's really handy!

the "RSS live links" extension for chrome handles rss feeds pretty well (pretty well because I don't have a point of comparison ^^')

page monitor is good too though with a downside compared to a page with an rss feed, the slightest change, the tiniest fly fart on the page gives an alert. one good thing, you can see only the change.
