Doc Searls points to a useful tool for the curious and inquisitive types on-the-go. FlightAware claims to be the first company to offer free flight tracking services for both private and commercial air traffic in the United States. Delayed by only six minutes, which is a luxury these days, the data pulls in the current paths of airborn aircrafts. Offering a variety of data points and maps, FlightAware also offers mobile weather and route analysis services for pilots and passengers alike. While charmingly convenient, beware of lying to crafty spouses about delays and cancellations.
