jquery set div from mysql then alert for changes

Question

Im getting a row count from Mysql using php and i have a jquery refresh which loads the rowcount into the div and displays it. this works great!

Now i need to send an alert if the div's value changes. Ive tried the code below, but it doesnt detect any changes with the div. Any ideas?

var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function ()
{
    $('#load_tweets').load('<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/login/count_users/');
}, 1000);

$('#load_tweets').change( function() {
notify('NEW JOB');
});

The jQuery .change() method works only for form fields.
