ChangeDetection.com - is there a web page which you visit from time to time just to see whether there's anything new there? Do you know that you can get a computer to do that for you, sending you an email when there's a change to the page? You will need to give it an email address and the URL (Web address) of the site you're interested in, and it will let you know when there's any change. Note: This doesn't work well on sites which insist on telling you today's date, such as, until recently, HEFCE's page. But apart from that it's a conveniently effortless way to keep an eye on a page.
