Another option is MacUpdate Desktop. This links to MacUpdate and can
provide personalised watch lists as Version Tracker used to do. Like
Version Tracker it is not quite infallible!

Yes I noticed the change this morning and felt a bit sad and
disappointed by the new interface.
The good news is that the VT clone I sometimes go to, MacUpdate <http://www.macupdate.com/

I will be visiting MacUpdate more often now.

Alas! VersionTracker is no more!
For almost as long as as we have been using the internet, http://www.versiontracker.com
has been a favourite repository of all that's new and good in the
world of Macintosh software, be it commercial, shareware or
freeware. If you wanted it, you could find it on VersionTracker. If
you visit the site today, you will be presented with an
announcement that the venerable resource has been assimilated by
Download.com. The friendly, familiar face of VersionTracker has
gone forever in favour of the somewhat more sterile and clinical
screens of download.com.
I, for, regard this as a sad day. I don't doubt that we'll have
access to just as much software as before, it will just be
presented in, for me, a much less interesting way.
Such is "progress".
