In just a year and a half, Katie Austin's @madisontraffic Twitter has become more than a novelty -- it's essential reporting on the increasingly hairy Madison commute. In addition to its crowdsourced moment-by-moment look at traffic snafus, there's the long view -- political analysis from John Nichols, neighborhood and community news from WORT, and even a crowdfunded documentary-in-progress about our own recording legend, Smart Studios.
