For our readers in the US: now is the time to have a look at Farecast, as they launch nationwide today. I have to admit I'm more than a little envious – if this works as well as they say it does, it should really be available internationally.
So what exactly is Farecast? Basically, it's a website that tells you if should buy a certain plane ticket right now, because it's likely to get more expensive tomorrow, or if you'd be better off waiting for prices to go down. In other words, there's a lot of money to be saved.
Farecase was recently included in TIME Magazine's 50 coolest websites, so there's been a fair amount of buzz about it considering it's only launching today.
I can't wait to see how it works out – and please, please, launch one in Europe, too!
