Travel site Orbitz just took the wraps off a new featured called Traveler Update, which relies on input from other travelers to give you the up-to-the-minute scoop on things like security-line wait times, airport traffic, and taxi lines. At the same time, it provides travel tools like flight status, weather reports, parking info, and available airport Wi-Fi options. It’s a pretty nice air-travel portal, accessible via PC or cell phone. Of course, it remains to be seen whether your fellow travelers will actually provide any useful data, as community sites like this one are a dime and dozen. What’s your take? Sound off in the Comments. [via AppScout]
