If you're manually keeping track of webpages… you may be doing it wrong.
RSS feeds for major LW views (PROMOTED | NEW | TOP | COMMENTS and DISCUSSION) should be detected by your browser (and are in the sidebar), and Google's Reader is a great way to aggregate your feeds (from LW and every other site you want to "keep track of").
The RSS feeds have some important disadvantages: no scores, name of the poster of the parent comment, vote up/down links, or parent links. Having to click through an extra link to vote is a major disincentive, and a lot of context is lost. There's also duplication in both the article and comment feeds when things get edited.
The lack of scores may be unavoidable (RSS readers tend to gather posts when they're new and then not update them, so they'd just show zero scores), but the rest should be fixable.
Those are easy to add to the rss template.
Those might be easy to add to the template.
If we did it with js many RSS readers would strip it out, but bare vote links would work, at the cost only of spawning a new tab/window (so two clicks - vote, close).
