Google has introduced a new feature called "Custom feed" will permit users to track changes on pages that don’t have their own feed. For instance, if you want to track the updates on http://www.google.org/products.html just copy the URL and then click the "Add a subscription" button to add it as a feed.

This feature will surely come in handy for people who are looking to get updates from sites without feeds the easier way. However, in addition to allowing users to make RSS feeds for sites which don’t support them, Google also has an alternative for site owners to opt-out of the feature.
