Buzzing Bees 0.1

BuzzingBees allow you to monitor your favorite websites for updates and changes.

I designed this application thinking at the "Bee" metaphor ...

  • Bees are http-agents that can be scheduled for visiting websites ...
  • Hives are collections of Bees ...
  • So, with your Hive, you can train many Bees for visiting the Web for you...


    This is an alpha-version, just a proof of concepts; documentation/help is not provided and source code needs some restructuring. Neverthless, BuzzingBees is rather stable and easy to use ( Yes, I know that GUI should be better ..).

    Any help and suggestion is appreciated.
