"Sometimes governments post information to their websites but don’t notify the public. I use Visualping to alert me when this happens."
David Schultz, Reporter at Bloomberg
"There are countless tools available, but one I find particularly useful is Visualping. It tracks changes on websites and alerts you based on your preferences, whether daily emails or checks every five minutes."
Azmat Khan, Investigative Journalist at New York Times
"I also use Visualping, which sends you an alert when a website has been updated — useful for those websites of interest that update infrequently enough for it not to make sense to check them every day."
