No muss, no fuss: Just current conditions and the five-day
forecast, by city or ZIP code, without ads or other distractions. The
site remembers your last three checkpoints and lists them in a drop
down menu for easy access. If your computer doesn't accept cookies,
you can bookmark the SimpleWeather with your ZIP code in the URL, like
so: www.simpleweather.com/00000 (replace the zeroes with your ZIP's
five digits). The weather data comes from Weather.com and for now, coverage is U.S. only, but Canada and the UK are next. SimpleWeather also has a blog
(who doesn't?) which provides some insight into this little operation
and the two guys behind it, as well as some pretty useful tips. The
April 26 post, for instance, explains how to create a multi-tabbed
homepage. What a charming and humble way to encourage more frequent
visitation.
