Monitor only selected part of a page (e.g. price of a product), rather than whole page.
When starting InternetOwl the page can be retrieved and the interesting element checked (e.g. highlighted). From this point on, InternetOwl will monitor only that part of the web page (it may be a product price, visitor counter and so on).
Price Pinx provides a similar service (web based), however their… more -

monitor changes on entire site instead of one page
is there a way you can add the option to monitor all the pages in a site instead of just the single page. That would save me from adding them all in and it would pick up the new pages as I add them.

automatically populate the name based on the web page title
Hi.
I would like to request a new feature.
When adding a new watch item, automatically populate the Web Page Name based on the web page's title (<head><title> value).
Thank you.

An alert for Download Error would add considerable functionality. In the event of a down server or and other reason your site was unreachable you would be notified.

Craigslist! checkbox to NOT alert me if words were removed. I only want to know when ADDED changes.
Craigslist! checkbox to NOT alert me if words were removed. I only want to know when people ADDED words/new adds.
Truth is , I don't care about 'word count'. If it just let me know when things were added, I'd love it more.

support file system changes
Hi.
Thank you for Internet Owl.
I would like to use internet owl to monitor the (network) file system and have it notify me of changes.
This may also speak to adding plug-in support.
For example, a plug-in can be created for file system, ftp, sftp, scp, etc.Thank you.

Fix Sort Reset
Whenever a "Clear All" is executed the website list sort revertes back to the way it was orginally entered. IMO it should stay the same as it was sorted by the user before the "Clear All" operation, this seems a bug to me.

Make it free again, and get rid of the trial.
Perhaps the payment would upgrade to more features.

Monitor changes to download file sizes if downloading exe, csv or xls files
I often grab updates to software or get data published on the web as downloadable XLS or CSV files. It'd be great if I could monitor the EXE, XLS and CSV files so when data is added and the download size changes it informs me so I can download the… more
