How It Works
TheWebWatcher is a content monitoring service that periodically watches web pages and other Internet resources for keyword related content or changes.
The monitoring structure of TheWebWatcher is based on user-defined “watch points” (filters). There are two types of monitoring filters – those that tracks for changes and others that track for keyword related content.
Each filter is checked against Internet resources like web pages, ftp servers, etc. on specific monitoring interval which is defined for each filter.
If the filter is configured to watch for changes, it will prepare an initial copy of the resource and then compare the pages from other checks with that copy. If a change is tracked the watching agent will save a cache copy for you and send you alert message. The changes are highlighted with yellow background in the cached copy.
When the filter is configured to watch for keyword related content it will keep snippets from the text that are related with your keywords. If there's a change in those snippets, the monitoring agent will triggered the filter. As well as when tracking for changes the agent will save a cached copy of the page, so you'll be able to revise that changes later.
For example if you want to sniff for the word "PDA" at the top rated TechNews Sites, you can create a new filter with the name "PDA filter", query string "PDA" and define the URLs of CNET news, CNN-Technology and TechWeb. By the way, TheWebWatcher has its own pre-defined URL Groups, so the other possibility is just to select the "TechNews" group instead of defining three separate URL addresses.
Please, feel free to contact us if you have any specific questions, comments or recommendations.
