Early this month, Orbitz launched a beta version of Traveler Update, updates.orbitz.com, a networking site for the nation's fliers. It could help travelers navigate 45 of the nation's airports.

What's hot: You get real-time security wait times, traffic, average flight delays and more delivered on your computer, cellphone or PDA.

What's not: Not all info is helpful -- the generic "lots of activity" at Tom Bradley Terminal was followed by, "All international flights are on time." Huh?
