A (Perl) programmer friend of my recently described a type
of "user-agent" he could create fairly easily - basically a
"web agent" or "robot" - which can be set to traverse the
web and look for specific information. You might use this
kind of agent to check the creation dates of index.html
(.htm) files around the web.

If that sounds like a tall order (and it is) try a desktop
search agent and do some custom queries of webtext. Theres
a list of these at Search Engine Watch page:

good luck!
