I was reading the Download Squad feeds and ran across this little gem:
Universal Package Tracking tool tracks shipment progress using Google Maps
From the Why Didn’t We Think of This? department… isnoop.net has a Universal Package Tracking tool that allows you to punch in a UPS, FedEx, USPS, or DHL/AirBorne tracking number into a single field, and the tool figures out which type of tracking number it is and generates an update as to where the shipment is, and an RSS feed so that you can receive updates to the shipment via your favorite feed reader.
Even cooler, the site has employed the Google Maps API to show the actual geographical progress of your package. This is definitely a slick use of the Google Maps API, and it sure seems like package tracking was meant to be this way.
:shock: *gasp* I’m in love! :lol:
Seriously … how cool is that!!??
And *just* when I start ordering things off the net for the wedding and around the house and am in SERIOUS need of a way to track everything and keep the tracking status readily available.
Neat! :mrgreen:

I was on alt.2600 and Mara mentioned that she was invited to
your wedding. She said that you are the only person she would
brave Alabamastan for. Won’t she be surprised if she visits the
beautiful occupied territory of Alabamastan?
