The good people of Yahoo! saw our schoolgirl glee at Google integrating traffic into their maps today and sent us a little email to let us know that Yahoo! has had traffic on their maps since December of 2004.
We sit corrected.
And even though Yahoo!'s traffic is pretty damn good, and indeed better than Google's; Google's maps are smoother, cleaner, and thus better than Yahoo!'s. But we must say we never considered Yahoo an alternative to Google for maps, but now we do.
Nice work!

But Yahoo is so cluttered -- text, ads, windows everywhere. It hurts my eyes. Google all the way for me. I haven't bothered using any other map service since the day Google Maps went live.
Both are pretty glitchy. Anyways this is the same feature that has been available on the sigalert site way before yahoo added traffic diamonds to their maps. However they can be pretty off, one will show jammed traffic while the other will show green flowing freeways. Not sure who to believe as both have been wrong and right in the past.
