Do you always visit a particular website, and keep it permanently sticked to your browser tab; which you then keep on hitting the Refresh button every few minutes to see what’s the latest update ? This can be especially true for those of you may still using one of those static stock price page to keep track of your investment. Or if you trades foreign currency, and is lucky enough to have invested in that super-inflated currency, hence constantly checking the latest rate like this:

Enter ‘The Refresh Thing’. This website will help you to automatically refresh a particular webpage, based on a desired interval.

Using it is very straight forward. Just enter the URL of your webpage, and specify the interval (in seconds) to have the webpage auto-refreshed, then click the Go! button to let it fly! In the screenshot below, I’m refreshing my Facebook homepage every 3 minutes (180 seconds).

Note that auto-refreshing Facebook and Twitter homepage this way may not be the best idea to keep yourself updated on Facebook. You may opt to use tools like Digsby to stay on top of Facebook updates.
