Bit quiet around here. Clearly there were little 'real' developers on
the backstage site just mostly soapbox-merchants.
I am not obsessed (honestly) and I swear this is my last BBC traffic
data mashup. It must be time to try and visualise one of the other feeds.

This is the the gTraffic site which was converted to GWT and now it's
been ported to Adobe Flex.
This took about 4 months on and off (mostly off as I was so busy) to put
together and I had to solve some difficult problems with (a) deciding on
the map and (b) getting it to work with Flex. I intend to go into this
at some point in the future on my blog. Better if I get some questions
here and I can get an idea of what to say. Ask away...
The resulting application uses a custom IFrame component which I have
extended from an original component. Read more here:

I haven't ported the original timeline to the site. I do have a timeline
but it's not ready for the big time yet.
It's a Flash-hybrid. Check out the graph view which tags events against
road. This is a force directed graph and was a bit of fun.
