FINALLY - 5 minute tracking to all PREMIUM customers!

Yep - the title says it all - 5 minute tracking to all existing and new PREMIUM (not SOLO) customers will be able to set their trackers down to 5 minutes. Of course, this will use up more of your "checks per month", but for certain applications 5 minute tracking is really important.

Enjoy!

"Remember me" login feature

A small but useful feature that was requested by some customers. When you login, you can now select the "" checkbox.

If you select this and login, it means that you will be able to access your tracker content much more easily from email notification links.

However, if you do click "Logout", you will have to login again with your email and password.

Hope this helps,

Tracking more web pages than ever!

Hi everyone, this is just a quick post to keep everybody updated. OnWebChange has more customers than ever, is tracking more sites than ever and I have invested more resources into IT infrastructure - OnWebChange is here to stay!

Some of you may have also noticed a bit of a re-design of the website & app to clean things up a bit, but less obvious is the rework of a lot of core modules to increase performance.

Femtoo - New Feature - Scheduling your trackers

Yesterday, a new version of Femtoo was released which included a very useful new feature: Tracker Scheduling.

Tracker Scheduling means that you can now specify when you want your trackers to run, not just how often. This means you can configure your trackers to minimize the number of 'Checks Per Month' you use.

For example, let's say you want to track a niche job board which advertises new positions for jobs and that you know the job positions are posted each morning around 10am. Before, you would have had to create a tracker that runs every 30 minutes and hope that it happens to run soon after 10am to notify you quickly of the latest job positions - this would work, but is far from ideal. With Tracker Scheduling you could simply configure your tracker to run once per day at exactly 10am (or to be safe, sometime shortly after 10am). Now your tracker is using many many fewer 'Checks Per Month' and is checking for content changes exactly when you want.

To use the new Tracker Scheduling feature, create or edit a tracker and click the 'Schedule next run' field. A date and time selection widget should appear and you can select the exact time for the next tracker run. The tracker will then run periodically based on the selected tracker frequency. So in the example above, I would choose a 'tracker frequency' of '24 hours' and I would choose a 'Schedule next run' time of 10:10 am and date as either this day or the next. Once saved, the tracker will run at 10:10am every day.

Another great feature requested by, and implemented for Femtoo users.

Tracking multiple page content with Femtoo

The latest release of Femtoo (http://femtoo.com) brings a welcome addition to the 'Tracker Editor' - Simple-to-use multiple content selection.

Femtoo users can now find a new button, labelled "Select additional part of the page". When this button is pushed, a second selector field appears and is automatically activated - meaning that you can now point-and-select an additional part of the web to track.

Femtoo has long had multiple-selection ability, but was always a bit fiddly to use. The new "Select additional part of the page" button makes the powerful Femtoo multiple-selection feature easy for everyone.

Why would you need to select and track multiple parts of a web page? If you are tracking a product page, with a single tracker you can track the price, stock quantity and discount information. Of if you are tracking a news website, which often has various sections, you can track several news headlines with a single tracker.

Femtoo is one of the most powerful, full-featured and reliable web page tracking systems on the Internet, why not give it a try?

Femtoo - Introducing a brand new 'Tracker Editor'

The new Femtoo tracker editor has finally been launched. It is a complete replacement from the previous 'modal dialog' design and the new implementation user a full page, giving much more space to select content and also allows more experienced users faster access to settings and configuration.

And now that the new tracker editor is in place, we hope to start making big improvements, specifically to help with the selection and tracking of multiple page elements.

Femtoo - The best web page tracker looking better than ever

The focus of Femtoo has always been about performance, stability and powerful content tracking features. However... from a visual point of view, Femtoo has never been particularly appealing...

Until now! Femtoo has just had a well deserved 'look and feel' overhaul. Although the work was only really some basic style changes, the effect is dramatic and we are sure that people will enjoy using Femtoo much more.
