Znitch.com - texts you when a webpage talks about you
Have you znitched yet?
Znitch: I’m your informer. I’m your narc. I’m that loud mouth kid in second grade that tells your Mom everything you do. I’m your witness protection program relocated ZNITCH.
… Thus begins the introduction to newly launched mobile monitoring service, znitch.com.
You can Znitch (or monitor) any webpage. So, think Google, eBay, Craigslist and so on. It takes 10 seconds to setup a Znitch. Smart! Type in the web address you’d like to monitor, type in some keywords that you’d like Znitch to hunt for and then put in your email address.
Or, if you’re in America, I imagine you can type in 12051231234@verizon.net or whatever and you can get the update by text message. (I don’t think international text updates are available as yet)
I’ve setup a znitch for ‘vodafone’ on engadget.com. I’m going to see how it works.
Ewan, if you’ve not seen this yet, you should check out ScrappyGoo..

Stick in ‘Ewan Macleod’, and create an RSS feed for every mention you receive on google. You can also set up Google Alert emails to do the same thing (linked off the google homepage). Works well for my name and I’d imagine it will for yours too, but if you’re called ‘John Smith’ I’d imagine you’re going to get quite a bit of spam.

We’re upgrading the UI and the Engine so now, leaving a BLANK keywords field will send updates upon ANY change… the keywords fields will just filter down the alerts… AND if you dont want alerts, Registered users will get a RSS Stream URL instead. nice!
