DIYtraffic Bot, a product of DIYcity.org, is an extensible framework that can take traffic updates from one place and send them to another place. Currently it works with the Yahoo! Traffic API and Twitter.

Features:

• Polling the Yahoo! traffic service and posting traffic incidents as status updates to a Twitter account
• Responding to direct messages containing queries (i.e. "Canal") by sending back DMs containing any relevant statuses posted within the last three hours
• Can be extended to include traffic updates from different sources and / or post updates to social networks, blogs, or wherever else.

This project uses some components of Daniel Winterstein's JTwitter library (http://www.winterwell.com/software/jtwitter.php) for making calls to the Twitter REST API. A modified version of JTwitter can be found in the winterwell.jtwitter package
