Hi guys,
I know many of you are IT heavies, so I thought I'd ask.
Every time I see LV's Rob Lee or PWW's Megan Fitzpatrick weigh in on a thread, I think to myself "there's just no way these busy folks can monitor every woodworking site to see if their businesses are mentioned." I'm guessing someone sells a tool or a service that does this. Anyone know?
I envision this as an electronic "clipping service", like celebs used to hire to watch the newspapers for their names. For me? Maybe I'd set it to monitor for reviews on a particular new tool. Maybe I'd monitor for when a sale hits on a particular tool, electronic gadget, etc. Maybe I'd just set it to watch for my own name to monitor that. Or whatever.
Yes, I know I can google any of this myself once a day, but sometimes I don't get around to it. But more than anything, I'm just plain curious and I have a hunch there'd be a million cool uses for this if it's affordable.
Thanks for your help!
Fred
