CNET Editors' review
Don't be discouraged by this application's initially daunting interface. TimelyWeb makes it much easier to monitor your favorite sites for changes than it seems to at first.
It automatically detects changes to user-specified Web links. Its structured GUI is similar to that of a Windows application, and it has a multitude of options to tailor the program to your needs. You'll like how TimelyWeb allows you to make configurations per link as opposed to one sweeping determination. You can monitor numerous sites, each with its own individual schedule, although the trial limits you to 20 links.
TimelyWeb scans and automatically downloads updates, or you can have the program notify you through e-mail, MSN Messenger, or ICQ when a monitored site changes. The application performs immediate checks as well, and you can get update information without having to visit the site. We liked the at-a-glance stats displayed in a sidebar so you can see when selected links were modified, unreachable, dead, etc., and how often each happened. Multiple options and windows to get the program set up may appear overwhelming to first-time users, but testing proves otherwise. You won't waste time visiting unchanged pages again with this handy little program.
Publisher's Description
From ABF software:
TimelyWeb helps you track updates of Web pages and FTP resources. When the change is detected, TimelyWeb can notify you in a number of ways including automatic opening of the Web page in browser, sending an e-mail, SMS, instant messenger message or just showing a message so that you can do proper action manually. TimelyWeb can check keywords in Web pages or exclude parts of Web page text (like counters or time). It can also highlight all changes in Web pages. Both static and dynamically generated resources can be monitored. If the resource is protected, TimelyWeb will login automatically.
You can vary check interval from minutes to months, and secify it individually for every page or resource. TimelyWeb can also be used to monitor availability of the site. When the site is not available for any reason, you are immediately notified. Version 4.2 build 215 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
