Method to have SalesForce.com trigger an outbound API request?

I'm curious how others have accomplished the following:

* User updates a record in SalesForce.com.
* SalesForce.com sends an outbound POST/GET or API request to a listener web server hosted by us
* Our custom application then queries the SForce API and grabs the latest data from the SalesForce.com record

I know we could program our application to query salesforce.com for records updated since it's last query, but I'd perfer to know if it's possible to accomplish this.

What would be ideal is a workflow alert that is actually able to submit a POST/GET query to an external web address. Then we could use the existing workflow rules to trigger this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance.
