Confessions of a Newshound by Steven M Cohen, Information Today (May 2009) in AllBusiness.com
Mentions "Update Scanner (http://updatescanner.mozdev. org/ en/index.html), a Firefox extension that looks at any webpage (at any time interval needed), caches the data, and displays this cached version of the page, highlighting the new content."
Uses this to monitor wires, Drudge Report, Newsnow.co.uk.
In addition Cohen monitors RSS feeds - but that's another story.
