Farecast Beta

Farecast is the first airfare predication website. With Farecast, you will know when to buy based on when airfares are rising or dropping. Shoppers using Farecast will buy directly with the airlines sites after finding the best time to buy. The beta version only predicts fares out of Boston or Seattle, which doesn’t help me out much. However, when the site goes live, I think it could be very useful. In the meantime, I have 25 beta invites to give out. Any takers?

You can get a Windows Vista Beta 2 product key for free through Microsoft, as the OS won’t install without one."

If only I had the hardware….

In the next month or two, Digg.com, the popular tech news website, will add coverage of world news, entertainment, politics, and more, according to Kevin Rose, the president of Digg. It should be interesting to see if this will make Digg popular with the non-tech masses. Time will tell, but I am looking forward to the changes.
