Chris, I love and use Pipes. I thought they were discontinuing it or something - I remember feeling sad about it. Where did I hear that from? You can see that some people use it for this kind of thing already:

Anyone have one lying around? :P Thanks for the pointer to ChangeDetection. It could definitely be one part of a jigsaw puzzle solution! Steven, StillAlive seems like misappropriation. It is for health monitoring, no? Le, Google Alerts seems promising. Does anybody use it much? It seems to me like configuring it right would be most of the challenge.
