“Versionista provides both an accurate date of the last change and reveals the edits that have been made between versions
of the site — highlighting what has been added and removed in side-by-side comparisons.”
“Tools like Versionista are making it easier still to spot alteration over time.”

Versionista monitors Web sites that you specify for edits. Our Web-based service records every change, highlighting added and
deleted words and sentences, and sending you an e-mail as soon as we find a meaningful difference.
You can view multiple generations of edit histories for every page on a site. At the same
time, filtering eliminates information overload by tracking only content that matters.
Versionista was designed for the rough-and-tumble world of today's Web, where subtle edits can offer actionable tactical
advantage.
- Monitor entire Web sites and receive e-mail alerts when changes that meet your regular expression filters are met.
- Track and archive any entity's total online presence, including social media, blogs, and other Web sites.
- Follow the evolution of any site, and know when important changes occur — even to deeply nested pages.
It's wasteful to spend your time trawling through a competitor or customer Web site hunting for changes. As well, for
time-sensitive information, you may catch them too late.
Versionista simplifies and automates Web site monitoring:
- We spider specified sites at configurable frequencies.
- We track and archive changes that match your content filters.
- We e-mail you change alerts.
- We offer a dashboard of sortable lists of monitored pages.
- We provide "before and after" side-by-side comparisons.
- We visually highlight deletions and additions.
Versionista archives and preserves the complete lifecycle of any Web-based content.
In the old print-based world, it was easy to track and preserve the entirety of one's corporate communications.
It's entirely different with Web-based media, where multiple editors and automated content generators mean that
what's on a Web site today may not be there tomorrow.
At the same time, there's increasing regulatory and internal best practice requirements that all customer-facing
content should be comprehensively preserved.
Versionista's ability to snapshot and archive every site change helps meet the needs of regulatory agencies or
internal General Counsels. More, since we pinpoint exactly what has changed, we offer unique enhancements to
ongoing internationalization efforts.

Palin did actually appear at this New Mexico rally. Not sure, then, why reference to her is removed the day after?
Deletions from Pelosi’s Security page and the removal, from whitehouse.gov, of a link to the Hurricane Katrina section both raise questions of timing.
We didn’t realize until now that the McCain site linked to Versionista again. They were highlighting edits to Obama’s Social Security page.
More notably, another use of Versionista by the McCain site garnered some international press. Their highlight of changes to Obama’s Urban Policy page, and the deletion of reference to a Foreclosure Prevention Fund, was mentioned in The Scotsman, The Press and Journal, and The Spectator.
Slate.com published many, many interesting Versionista edits. If you’re interested to see recent edits to the political sites, check the Slate article for notable before-and-after comparisons. (Note that we have a new logo in Slate… you will be seeing it here as soon as we get the new site design in place.)
The Slate piece was used as a basis for this Dutch article. Perhaps related, we also got another mention in CNET.
