text: how to receive email alert everytime a website is updated? i want to be notified everytime there is a new posting in www.fatwallet.com hot deals section. i want to receive an email with the title of the new posting. is this possible? i learned that rss is not sufficient in this. please help me. you could write a little program to get the html page, and compare to the old page. but that is a bit of overkill.  why does rss not work for you? did you know that most standalone rss readers can be configured to check the rss at shorter intervals.  and fatwallet has feeds at http://www.fatwallet.com/rssinfo.php
