What will Google think of next?
Did you know you can input a flight number into the Google search bar, and immediately get links to track the flight? My sweetie is flying home from Denver tonight, and according to FBOWeb.com (the third flight tracking link that came up in Google results) she’s 38,000 feet over Laramie right now, and her flight is going to be about 20 minutes earlier than I thought it might.
Amazing, when my other option was to go to Alaska Airlines site and try to find the flight tracking area there. Big time saver, and probably easy access from a PDA, too.
You can do the same with a UPS or FedEX tracking number, just paste it into your Google search bar, and you’re off and running.
Since I’m on the road so much now, working with different clients, I’ve started keeping my calendar in Google Calendar, which is saving my bacon.
We had the same idea at Now Software back in 1994, and I spent lots of time trying to evangelize an Internet-based calendar, but there were too many obstacles back then.
I love Google.
