Watching All The Stuff

My friend showed me this new website.  Well, considering I had never seen anything like it before, I was pretty amused.  So, the website basically looks at which website you want and captures designs of it, and then it lets you know if anything has changed.  So like, if you want to know if anyone makes changes to their website, this program will do it for you.  So I was trying to think of why you would want to do this.  I mean, there are a of things you might want to use it for, but the main ones I thought of were like if you wanted to see if your competitors were modifying anything.

Like, I know that people who own businesses want to know what other people in the field are doing but they probably don’t want to rest all day waiting to see what they are going to do.  So this website will just be like hey, click, they made a change, and then they email you to tell you.

That’s pretty awesome.

So what else could you use it for?

Then I was thinking something like if there is some official information somewhere, like who is hosting a gathering.  What’s more important I think is the concern of privacy.

I mean, everyone is looking at your website nevertheless, but if you want people seeing exactly what you’re doing.  I don’t comprehend there’s a problem with this but I think some people might.  What if they don’t want anyone to know they said something?  What if you desired to make a change and didn’t want anyone to know about it, but then this website is like hey look what they did!  I guess I could see some people having a problem with that.  I’m not sure.  When you ask around even I bet most people don’t even know this exists.  So it’s only used by a few people.  Most people probably wouldn’t care if people were recording their changes, in fact, most people probably want users to see the changes they make; that’s why they’re making the changes in the first place  Except for the aforementioned scenario when they do not want the person to, I think people won’t really care.  My manager might like something like this, he’s always doing crazy stuff online and would probably make a reason to need a program like this to see when something changes.  There is a day I have to go to work soon so likely I’ll detail it to him then.  That’s probably the kind of thing he would use so I don’t know if he knows this exists but I guess we will see.
