A simple, but informative mashup of data (flight information) and Google Maps is FlightWait. FlightWait is, hmm, all about air traffic above the US, indicating any flight which is delayed. You will see these flights on your screen, marked with different colors (means different delays from 0-15 min to more than 2 hrs). The data is provided by the FAA (Federeal Aviation Association).

Today, I will present you a quite new VideoChat service, it’s called SeeToo and has some nice features. What’s the idea behind SeeToo?

Let’s say you’re right now at our surf beach in Costa Rica and had some great waves this morning. Your buddy made a nice video of your last ride, and you want to share it with your surfing buddies at home. Instead of sending it via email, which is not suitable due to the size of the file, and instead of uploading it on YouTube so everyone will have a look at it, you can go to SeeToo and upload the file from your PC at the internet café. The say to SeeToo to send an invitation to your friend at home. If he’s online, you can watch the videoclip together and chat about it simultaneously.

An alternative service may be Vlip and Orgoo.

This is a very short notice: Gadling brought that topic - surfing in Island. Although I’m a fan of northern countries, surfing in ice cold water is not mine. A surf day at a beach, palm trees and sun, there is no comparable in Island. For the die hard fans, Island may be a once in a life time experience - for sure the break is yours.

But whether you surf here in Costa Rica or there in Island, surf is up!

Amicoz is one of these travel platforms where you can meet other tranvellers, read their stories and exchange about your project. It’s fun to read, with many galleries to watch and so nice social network functionalities. From the Gobi desert to the Islands of Tahiti, I saw a lot of interesting stuff but also some spam content too. Other services like Amicoz are Troovy and Travellerspoint.
