Specto
Specto is a desktop
application that watches configurable events (such as website updates,
emails, file and folder changes, system processes, etc) and then
triggers notifications.
For example, Specto can watch a website for updates (or a
syndication feed,
or an image, etc), and notify you when there is activity (otherwise,
Specto will just silently continue monitoring unobtrusively).
This changes the way you work, because you can be informed of
events instead of having to look out for them.
