Vista February Community Tech Preview is Coming!

The word is that it will be available this week.

The FeedLounge UI is now very, very fast

FeedLounge was having trouble with their application’s responsiveness.  They put up a fix on Friday and it’s now very smooth.  Great job, guys!

FlySpy – pick the cheapest dates/times/airports, interactively

TechCrunch on FlySpy:

I give it a departure city and a destination city and optionally a departure date and length of stay. The search result, which returns very quickly, will present me with a graph of flight prices over the next 30 days so that I can quickly look at which days are the cheapest to fly. To book a flight I just click on the point in the graph. Simple. …. in very little time I can find the best day to fly out, the best price and also the best destination.

This is great! The cycle of entering new dates/airports/times over and over, waiting for the airline site or expedia or orbitz to respsond, slooooowly, hoping for a better price, is brutal. I’m glad someone is finally going to give us a visualization of that data!!

FlySpy, make sure you invite information aesthetics when you have an alpha – they’ll eat it up!
