Everyone hates traffic jams. But while we can always check the news, here is something that iPhone owners can turn to especially if they are in a hurry or always on the go. The new app is TrafficTweet for the iPhone from Mobomo, an app that provides people an easier way of knowing real-time traffic conditions in any U.S. city. The TrafficTweet app relies heavily on public Twitter feeds from the Twitter community.

Features:

• Leverages iPhone 3.0 OS Maps API to directly embed Google Maps into the application, providing a quick snapshot of all traffic alerts on nearby highways and roads.
• Leverages Twitter Platform so drivers using TrafficTweet can report current road conditions (traffic accidents, lane closures, speed traps and other alerts) to others via Twitter on an interactive map. App users can use color-coded icons to provide the driver with instant feedback.
• One-Click Driver Reporting eliminates need for onerous driver texting as it takes just one click to report speed and two clicks to report a traffic incident.
• Powerful Search Function embedded in TrafficTweet app allows users to quickly search for traffic conditions anywhere in the world.

The TrafficTwitter app for the iPhone is now available for download at the Apple iTunes App Store for only $0.99.

When it comes to using our mobile devices to order food and stuff, the technology offered by myOrder may not seem something new or interesting. However, if the app is made available in a vicinity where it was never used before like San Francisco, you can expect locals to be enthusiastic in making life easier for them as far as avoiding the long queue lines and getting their orders in a hurry.

Certified by all major wireless carriers, myOrder will debut this week in San Francisco’s top nightclubs, hotels and restaurants. George Karpaty, who owns five popular San Francisco nightclubs, including Ruby Skye, endorses the application and has brought myOrder into his venues: “myOrder empowers me, the venue owner, by giving me access to customer data that allows my staff to provide improved service to our guests. From knowing what they like to drink, to understanding what type of venues they frequent, myOrder helps me and my venues be better hosts.”

So it is not purely about serving and broadening the scope of customers to be served. It is also about analyzing the people using it and perhaps to potentially resort to ways to make it more visible. Data that myOrder gets from these orders will certainly help considering they can improve on flaws that are certain to come out in the process.
