- etherealG 17y agodamn, sorry guys, seems like "Google was not able to access this page to check for updates. This page may be unavailable or have other restrictions that prevent Google from getting updates." perhaps it will work later. <holds thumbs>

- tcarnell 17y agoFemtoo.com - works everytime - it's how I track comments etc. I also use it to track new answers for 'StackOverflow' questions. You can even 'publish' a tracker and anyone can subscribe without requiring an account. Just created a Femtoo Tracker for this page, this URL will tell you how many comments have been posted (will get updated every 30 mins): http://api.femtoo.com/trackers/content/?trackerKey=f24b684a9794ded http://api.femtoo.com/trackers/content/?trackerKey=f24b684a9... too cool? "Femtoo - Reference any part of any web page by URL"
- etherealG 17y agothanks for letting us know, that's really great.

- aj 17y agoHowever, it will not notify of comments to entries that you post but only replies to your comments correct? So it's not a complete solution unfortunately
- tcarnell 17y agoIs your comment in reference to Femtoo? Femtoo can notify you of any new comments.
- cmanfu 17y agoor you could use http://followthatpage.com/ http://followthatpage.com/, although that polls for changes at most frequently only once an hour
