I'm researching ways to build a web service to periodically traverse a predetermined list of web pages (of another external website) to detect if a page's content has changed from

editing of the page, and
deletion of the page.

The end goal is to have this web service post push-notification events to mobile devices.

FYI, I've searched and read "Questions with similar titles" here.

Thank you for sharing your answers.
