If you google "airline seatmaps" you'll find a couple more.

I was just wondering where seatmap had gone as it gave you real time availability. Thanks for the reply though

On the forum linked above, this comment from a person in Oz:
Here you have a bloke, that uses his own money, time, energy and nouse to create such a great resource. Never once was there a pop-up ad, or revenue raising exercise - he built and maintained the site at his cost and opened it to the world for free.

The last batch of work he did on it, created some negative mail and demands from people who suddenly thought it was their site and they had a goddamed right to get what they wanted in it.

Along with the greedy leeches who abused the site from other www areas by linking it, it all proved too much, so he's withdrawn it, as is his right. Why would you put yourself through the grief and the expense with the explosion in bandwidth (and costs) by the linking - would you?

He's not a corporate money making machine - just a decent bloke who decided to share something very good with the world with no thought of any sort of financial recompense to himself. Kindness and generousity doesn't pay the bills though!

It's the same thing that's helped kill the Galileo weblink interface. Too many linking into it without permission and causing a blowout in expenses with no recompense to the owners.
