Description: A great satellite tracker. It is capable of showing about 500 satellites - NASA, military, astronomy, other countries, etc.
Also displays the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra Space Station. You can modify the displayed satellites by clicking on "config" and then "update". Clicking on a satellite displays its latitude, longitude and altitude.
Ctrl-clicking on a satellite displays the satellites orbit around the earth. Shift-clicking opens a webpage on the selected satellite. It also shows where on earth it's night and where it's day, the current position of the sun and the weather.
Description: Same as J-Track, but three-dimensional. Use the menu to change the displayed satellites. Ctrl-clicking zooms in, shift-clicking zooms out. You can also use your mouse to drag and move the earth.

Thanks!
The 'lot of work' is relative, since I'm quite interested in everything that flies. But I find it stunning how much information you can find about it. And just as my friend Osama said above, it might be a bit dangerous for terrorists and people with less good intentions. But hey, it's cool anyway :p !

Neat stuff. I particularly like FboWeb. It seems like they put a lot of thought and effort into creating useful and fun little features for pilots. The international tracking is handy too as every now and then I have family or someone to pick up from an international flight. Thanks much!
