A Really Quick Introduction to Feedwhip

What is Feedwhip?

Feedwhip is a service that detects changes to web pages. Feedwhip's users are notified about these changes whenever the change matches criteria they specify. Feedwhip works with just about every web page on the internet, whether or not it provides an RSS feed.

How do I get notified about changes?

We'll send a notification to your email account. That notification will contain a list of the changes as well as links you can use to manage your subscription. You can turn off email notifications at any time.

We'll also create a custom RSS feed for each of your subscriptions, so you can read updates in your favorite RSS reader instead of your email inbox.

How does it work?

You give Feedwhip the address of a website you're interested in. Feedwhip will then check that website on a regular basis, looking for changes. When a change is detected, we'll send you an email describing the change.

When you set up your subscriptions, Feedwhip also provides you with many options to determine what kinds of changes you're informed about: big changes, little changes, or changes that involve links or images. You can even filter changes based on whether or not certain words are present.

Are you going to spam me?

Feedwhip does not send spam. Your email address and any other personal information will never be shared with anyone outside Feedwhip, and we'll only send you email when you ask us to.

How do you make money?

One day we hope to have a really good answer to this question. Until then, suffice it to say that we don't (make money).
