Created by C4U Ltd., this new, free site-minding tool offers a number of options to help users track specific changes on selected Websites. After downloading and installing, users should launch the program and consult the Help menu for an overview and tips. Unlike other site-minders, C4U is located on the users's machines, allowing them to track changes without relying on email notification. Like all minders, C4U works independently, scanning the selected sites and notifying the user of changes such as new links, images, text, or email addresses.
Users can also track more specific changes at sites by indicating keywords.
C4U can search for changes at specific intervals or on demand, and sites with new content are indicated by a smiling face. C4U can also be integrated into Netscape or Internet Explorer browsers, allowing sites to be added to the C4U list with one button. C4U has obvious potential for monitoring news or what's new sites, but as the makers suggest, it can also be used to track new results to previous search engine queries. So Israeli software company C4U developed a tool that cuts through the clutter on WebPages. C4U is a free download that lets you search your favorite sites for new links, scan for key words, and compile a list of changes in text, images, and email addresses with just one click.
