“Now, this is very useful. For pages that don’t have an RSS Page2RSS will basically create one for you. Simply type in the URL of the page that you’re interested in, grab the feed, add it into your favourite reader and you’re done.”

In my opinion…
It is a great way to monitor static pages.
Though there are many other monitoring tools available on the Web, this one doesn’t require any login, it works well, and it is just as simple as a click.
I found one limitation though: it doesn’t watch the page as regularly as it should. It only checks for updates every 4 hours (well, not so bad I assume). I thought that refreshing my feed would automatically generate an update from Page2RSS, but it is not the case…
So my recommendation: use it for pages where content is not changing too frequently.
