I moved a lot to RSS but it still has its purposes.I've used it for the following situations in which the site does not offer RSS or e-mail updates: - Check when vendors have posted updates (Nagios just updated last night!) - When new information or the latest newsletters are posted at the school's web site - When Microsoft updates the Windows Service Pack Road Map My use of WatchThatPage has declined with the use of RSS but it's still useful and it will send you an e-mail, unlike an RSS feed. There are times when you want an e-mail sent. I’ve used http://www.watchthatpage.com for years.
