TrafficLand NY, Google Maps plus traffic cams

ResourceShelf.com points this morning to TrafficLand's new service for New York City.  Pretty neat implementation.  Click on a node of interest on a Google Map and you'll get a good view of what traffic is like in that location.  Adds all over the place, could get alot of traffic - if you will.

The company offers delivery to mobile devices and has partnerships with cops and media outlets.  Very interesting.  I find private, as opposed to public, surveillance fascinating.  Hardly ever discussed.  This, though, is a public/private partnership as they say.  The cameras are owned by local government agencies and presumably their feeds are licensed by TrafficLand and who knows who else.
