Clarification of Question by tenderquestion-ga on 08 Jan 2006 05:39 PST

Hi, Thanks for you answer but this is not what I am looking for. We
presently have a business similar to the web site that you directed me
to, we need to find a technology or service provide partner who can
provide us with the service of on a daily basis going to the free to
air non subscription sites around the world like (
http://www.dst.gov.za/tenders/tenders_offer.htm ) and gather the
freely published tenders into a file that we can then upload into our
systems.  Our team will then copy and paste these flies into our
content distribution engine and classify them correctly.  So it is a
combination of a "news clipping" service and a web crawler/skimming
service were they gather these free to air tenders on our behalf.  Is
this clearer?

tq-ga,


Let me know if this service is what you had in mind:


http://www.watchthatpage.com/
Monitor pages, extract new information


This is a *free* service that will track changes to any web pages you
identify, and automatically collect any new content, and email it to
you (or post it on a web page that you can create).


This seems a perfect service for monitoring a set of pages like
http://www.dst.gov.za/tenders/tenders_offer.htm  where you already
know the URL.


There are other sorts of services (many of them also free) that can
monitor the web as a whole, and alert you when new content becomes
available.

For instance, you can set up a search for [ "tender offers" ], and
anytime that term newly appears, youre automated search will identify
it, and save it for you.


Let me know what you think.
