Just read this over at Mashable. Hope our favourite tool doesn't go away in it's current form.

This was in talks for a few months. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...quire-ita.html

I'm glad it went though hopefully they do some exciting things while maintaining the ability to still fully harness all the power that the current version has.

This has been in talks a while, but does anyone think that this might be a big conflict since they provide the underlying information for many other sites, like kayak, orbitz mobbisimo among others?

ITA also provides flight information to Bing by Microsoft as well as other sites.
