Page Monitors - Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web - page 49

When you add a page, you are asked to provide the following: the page's
URL, a title for the page (something that's easy for you to remember), and
how oten you want to track this page, whether it's daily, every two days,
every three days, or weekly ( Figure 3.4 ). You also have the option of being
notiied of updates containing only the keywords you specify.
Figure 3.4 trackengine's bookmarklet pops open a window allowing you to add a page you're viewing to your
list of monitored urls.
tip
the notiication option can save you buckets of time! if there's an
easy keyword that encompasses the kind of information you're
looking for, such as a company name, person's name, or technology
name, by all means use it! it helps eliminate a lot of the false posi-
tives you can get when trivial information on the page changes.
You can get reports about page updates from the front page once you're
logged in. Unfortunately, TrackEngine doesn't allow you to monitor more
than ive pages at a time, which is not much, unless you have a very small
monitoring job. If you want to monitor more, you have to upgrade. Moni-
toring 10 bookmarks costs $19.95 a year, or you can pay $4.95 a month to
monitor up to 50 bookmarks.
