flightaware.com is a site that focuses entirely on the awareness, news, and general information of air travel. Their site allows you to see the direction and amount of flights anywhere in the world, and allows you to search for any flight, airport, or city that you choose. They have many products, including API's, Data reports, and more detailed tracking information on specific flights. They also have an about page and discussion boards. All of their information is well organized, with all the relative groups of links being at the top. A total of 8 categories are listed above, along with a search bar, a login bar, and a logo at the very top. As you go down, you are presented firstly with a map that allows you to see all flights, the current amount of traffic second, and 'Squawks'; news about aviation and the airline industry. This site appears to be using a Jello layout, keeping all the information largely in the center. The header is expanded a bit further out, but not by much. This is an interesting site, and I recommend checking it out.
thetruesize.com is also a pretty interesting site. It is heavily interactive, the main focal point of the website being that you can click and drag any country in the world and see what it's actual size is, or what it looks like when it's stretched out by going further along the earth's latitude. It's mostly an educational site, explaining that latitude throws off our maps, and their 'About' page goes into full detail on that fact. The search bar on the left allows you to type any country in, taking it's spot on earth and allowing you to move it, to see what the size of it would be superimposed on that part of the world. In comparison to flightaware.com, this site is more fluid, with the comparatively small header being on the top left, and having the map of the earth as well as zooming and a compass taking up the rest of the screen and corners. This site may not be as straightforward as the previous one, but it is still a great site to check out, and I recommend doing so.
