TrackThePack

Here’s another fun application to be mesmerized by instead of working.  TrackThePack is an application that allows you to follow shipments from multiple delivery companies as your packages travel across the United States.  You have to register to take full advantage of the service, unregistered users can only track a single package at a time.  The shipping routes and package locations are displayed onto Google Maps.  There’s also a Firefox extension that enables package tracking by right clicking on the tracking number. 

TrackThePack is still in development so they are looking for guinea pigs to try out package delivery from a variety of services:

We need your help! We’re working hard to expand the number of carriers we support, and to do that, we need a lot of different tracking numbers to test. So if you have any tracking numbers that are NOT UPS, FedEx, DHL, or USPS we’d love to have them to try out. Your numbers will only be used for testing and will be kept completely private.
