Google Reader recently receives an update. It now has the ability to automatically look for RSS feed once a web address is entered into the Add Subscription box. If it can not find any feed, Google Reader would monitor the web page. According to this Google OS post, the ability to monitor the web page changes is based on the popularity of the web page. However, it cannot monitor the web page that requires user login and the web page that contains frame, and it can only monitor web pages that written in English.

I will stick to Google Reader’s RSS feature. As for some sites without RSS feed, I have been using Update Scanner Firefox Extension before I switched to Google Reader.  It can monitor almost anything, including web pages that contain frame and support multiple languages on the web pages. It can also can monitor the pages that require user log in as long as the user is logged in and has the correct cookie information.
