Quickbrowse Relaunches: Cheaper, Simpler

If you have a site you really want to keep up with on a regular basis, but it doesn't have an RSS feed or some other way to send out its content, you may want to try Quickbrowse ( http://www.quickbrowse.com ). It's relaunched with a somewhat friendlier interface and a new lower price ($2.95 a month.)

Here's how it works. Enter a set of pages you want to keep up with in the front page Quickbrowse box. Then hit the Quickbrowse button. You'll get a single page integrating all the pages you specified (with sometimes slightly goofy formatting, depending on how elaborate the sites you chose are.) You'll have the option to save the page as a collection, add it to an existing collection, or receive it regularly by e-mail -- either daily, weekly, or when it changes (there's also an advanced specification page that lets you break down delivery by day of the week, etc.)

I like QuickBrowse, but I've found it's better to have a pretty good computer/bandwidth to use it if you intend to retrieve a lot of pages. My old Windows 98 machine, on dialup, would really chug trying to load that meta-page. Worth a look.
