Twitter Commuter Feed for London and other cities


Link for more info: Commuter Feed


Commuter Feed is a free service that lets you post reports on traffic and transit delays in your local area using Twitter.

According to Webware Commuter Feed is a network of Twitter users tying to help each other avoid traffic backups and accidents faster than some official city transportations systems are able to update.

The system works by having users follow a Twitter bot that in turn follows their direct messages and sorts through the ones including an IATA airport code and incident information. This code designates which city they're posting for and the rest of your message can simply describe what's wrong. This will instantly go up into a publicly accessible feed that others can subscribe to and check before they head out the door, or from their mobile phones while out and about.

Google Maps Predicts Traffic Conditions

From: Google Operating System Blog

Google Maps can now predict traffic information
for any day of the week and time of the day, based on past conditions.
By default, if you click on the Traffic button in a supported area from
the US, Google Maps shows real-time traffic information. "Comprehensive
traffic data is available in over 30 major US metropolitan areas
(including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and others), with partial
coverage available in many more," according to Google Maps help center. There's also a traffic layer in Google Earth and Google Maps Mobile, but these applications don't include yet traffic prediction.
