			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a while I&#8217;ve been wanting to find a tool that would monitor a web page and send me an RSS feed when it gets updated. I found a few solutions.</p>
<p>But before I talk about the solutions, I first want to ask why there are so many sites that still don&#8217;t offer RSS feeds, except for their blog (assuming they have a blog). I remember wanting this all of the time when I was looking for a job. Most companies&#8217; pages with job openings listed do not contain an RSS feed. This is an easy way to allow a potential employee to find you a lot easier.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll get off my soapbox and tell you how I found it. You&#8217;ll never guess. I used Google (<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=rss+monitor+web+page+changes&amp;btnG=Search" target="_self">search</a>). The first solution had <a title="Monitoring changes to web pages" href="http://www.rba.co.uk/sources/monitor.htm" target="_self">a whole list of services/sites</a> to use.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying a few of the services but one of them had exactly what I was looking for:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://page2rss.com/" target="_self">Page2RSS</a> monitors web pages for changes and notifies you of those changes by RSS. Simply type in the URL of the page you wish to monitor and then add the feed URL to your favourite feed reader. Excellent tool for pages that do not offer their own RSS feeds.</p></blockquote>
<p>It was as easy as expected to use. I hope it gives me the results I want. I can see lots of uses for a service like this.</p>
