I'm from FlightAware...

Our network ADS-B ground stations is one of our fastest-growing data sources, but we also get data from the FAA, other national aviation authorities (UK, Australia, Eurocontrol, Central America, etc.), directly from airlines, satellite avionics providers, etc. Live flight tracking is a deceptively difficult problem - on the surface it seems as if you could simply collect data and regurgitate it (that's what I thought before I came onboard), but there is actually an enormous amount of processing and inference based on sometimes incomplete, inaccurate, and conflicting data, even for mainline airline flights. That's not even getting into GA or flights in areas of the globe where we lack complete coverage. It's a really interesting set of problems!

Re:Digital Baby Book Tool Moment Garden Adds Mobile Apps on Tuesday April 10, 2012 @02:52PM (#3823772)
Interesting. Is there an option to export everything? I looked around but couldn't find it. That's a critically important feature, since the idea is that this would replace a photo album (to some extent).

I recently had a daughter, and created a private jekyll-powered blog to share photos, etc. with family and friends. I went to all that trouble because:

1. I want it private. Facebook is creepy. 2. I wanted complete control over the data. Years from now, I want to be absolutely sure those memories are still accessible.
