What is your opinion on this sitemap generator by google.

Google Sitemap Generator takes a different approach: it will monitor your web server traffic, and detect updates to your website automatically

I am not sure when this was developed but it is new to me.

I've read about it and really want to try it out. I just haven't had time to set it up. I use Sitemap-generator right now and it's hands off and on cruise control. The google one seems like a much better way to do it though.

I would allow any 3rd party app (even Google) to run as a service on my server. You never know what information is being transmitted...
