1:46PM Angus Kidman | The promise that the Suna traffic information service would go virtually national in June was clearly a little ambitious, but it has finally happened. A press release from Suna claims that with Canberra now officially launched, 95% of the population have access to the service. Suna isn’t planning much further expansion, so the big thing to watch now will be improved coverage within existing areas of high traffic.

Hitchsters Helps You Catch a Cheap Airport Ride in NYC
1:00AM Kevin Purdy | Find yourself in New York City without an airport ride, but don’t want to pony up the disheartening full fare for a cab ride?

Bit.ly Provides Shorter URLs with Advanced Traffic Tracking
11:00PM Kevin Purdy | Link-shortening services like TinyURL have become nearly ubiquitous in space-restricted places like email, Twitter, and mobile sites—which is why it’s odd it’s taken so long for a similar service to offer traffic tracking, thumbnail caching, or other advanced services. Free URL shrinker Bit.ly jumps into that void with a slick set of features. The site remembers the last 15 links you shortened on your landing site, and it stores a thumbnail graphic of each link on its own space. Obsessive traffic-watchers can see how many have clicked through their links, where they found them, and compile all that data from simple XML or JSON feeds. There’s a handy bookmarklet for quick Bit.ly conversion, and the developers are working on geo-locating features for the near future. All in all, a viable link-snipping service for web workers and info geeks. Bit.ly [via ReadWriteWeb] More »
