Company
History
CustomWeather,
Inc. is a San Francisco-based provider of syndicated weather content that
combines the worlds of technology and weather. Our services can be easily
integrated into wireless and web environments. Because CustomWeather can
provide weather content as easy-to-read data files in a variety of formats
such as XML and ASCII, our clients are in total control of the look and
feel of the weather content on their site. To attract and maintain your
site's audience, there is no better solution. CustomWeather allows weather
data to live on our clients' sites so that they can maximize their own revenue
and increase their own site loyalty.
All of CustomWeather's
weather data is geo-coded so that it can easily be used by both wireless
and web-based companies. Search capabilities are available for zip codes
and city names. CustomWeather's geo-coded techniques assure that weather
forecasts are made for exact locations rather than just general areas.
The automated nature of CustomWeather's forecasts also allows for greater
customization for the client and allows CustomWeather to deliver weather
information that is more timely, reliable, and accurate than that supplied
by other weather providers. CustomWeather's is an entirely Java-based
company so our applications and content can seamlessly integrate into
virtually any platform.
