Flight Tracker - from USA Today

Hi All,

Two simple sites are up for discussion today. USA Today Flight Tracker and Flightview.com.

Users can get information about airline flights by searching for flights, by route and by airport from USA Today's Flight Tracker.   Users can search by arrivals and departures as well.

Results are displayed in a very easily read table with headings like Flight , Carrier, Departure, Arrival and Status.  Estimated times of arrival and departure are listed as well in the table when users click on the Flight name.  Click on this link - or any of the links above - to visit the travel site for flight.

Alternatively users can click on this link to visit Flightview.com.


Users can find flights and track flights on Flightview.com as well.  Specifically the Flight Tracker option is very, very useful.  Users can track flights by flight or route.  Flight information is displayed in a table with airline, flight number, departure time, arrival time and time remaining (if any).  Departure time and arrival time columns are sortable.  And there is a Flightview app available.

Enjoy the sites.

Regards,
Stu

Have You Heard? News Sites

Hi All,

News on the internet is free, readily available and covers every possible topic you can imagine.  There is a lot more news than just the Yahoo newsfeed or the Google newsfeed.  And while they are good for broad overviews of information there are other sites on the web that cater to other 'types' of news. 

Traditional news organizations were early to the 'news' game on the web.  Some of the more prominent news organizations that used the web to expand their presence include CNN, CBS News, ABCNews, Reuters, BBC News Online, MSNBC, FOXnews, USAToday, Time, Associated Press, the New York Times, and News.com.au.

Note that some of these news organizations cover different regions of the world - BBC, News.com.au in particular.  Also, some of the organizations are international in scope - Reuters, Associated Press and BBC in particular. 

Enjoy the links and the news!

Regards,
Stu
