In my spare time I am developing a more complicated notifier with a web interface. The additional feature is that it let's you add some regexps to ignore some changes (it is usefull for pages that for example show current date somewhere). I plan it to evolve into something like what RSS does by extracting what is new on the page (with a kind of HTML diff). You can read some documentation for that, download it or try it on my home server at Active Bookmarks Manual.
I wanted to use it as a replacement for Personal Nodelet - so it has a special (undocumented) feature that links to Perl Monks are internally converted to links to appriopriate The Pen pages.
By the way most current web browsers can notify you about changes to pages in your bookmarks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
