What would make you a raving fan?
weatherforyou:
With the merger/purchase/takeover/whatever between TWC and WU there is concern some of the things which have been available to PWS users will be limited or removed. Some of these things are already available from WeatherForYou.com/PWSweather but haven't been utilized. Some things we don't currently have but may be able to add.
I know there have been some suggestions in the past... some we've been able to do, some we haven't. However I see the situation has changed and I'm going to invest some time and money that I might have not otherwise considered. I'm prepared to do it, but I only want to invest where it's really wanted and will get used.
Most users here are big fans of WU. People's WU IDs appear prominently in signatures, their images and logo appear on web sites, people write scripts and programs for WU. WeatherForYou.com... not so much. What would make you a raving fan of WeatherForYou.com? What would make you want to tell everyone about WeatherForYou.com? Maps for your site? Other images? Other data? I need ideas!
Some people have said they don't link or promote WeatherForYou.com because no one has heard of them (even though we had almost 850,000 unique users in the last 30 days). Yeah, 850,000 isn't what the others have. That's why we really need you to spread the word. But you're only going to do it if we have something you'd be glad to tell others about.
We've been around since 1999. Later that year a site with a similar name told us to give up... that they had investors who were going to make them big...we now own their domain name. Some of our ideas were used elsewhere. A few times we've had offers to sell off, but the terms showed it was so the site could be shut down. After 13 years we're not going away. We only want to get better. But we need your help to do that!
Thanks in advance.

I really like WU's wundermap as it's a live snapshot of all the stations, one can tick boxes to display cloud cover, radar, webcams etc
I have a PWS sign in, but the software I have, WSDL, will not allow me to upload to PWS in the version that is stable for me. WSDL developer admits the latest version beta is not stable---well neither is the latest main release. And I'm not quite ready to change software yet. Maybe if and when I switch from Oreogn Sci to Davis.

Adding PWS stations to our Interactive Maps. Excellent idea.
BTW... if you send your webcam images to http://webcams.travel they show up on our Interactive Maps.
SlowModem:
If I go to one of my stations pages, http://www.pwsweather.com/obs/TENMILE2.html for example, there is no link there to make a banner of my data for websites, signatures, etc. I'm pretty sure there's an option to do that somewhere on your site. But if there was a link for my data on my page, I would probably use it.
weatherforyou:
http://www.weatherforyou.com/pwstools/ is where they're at.
I'll see about making that information more prominent.
