CustomWeather Selected to Provide Forecasts on e-learning Site NectarSector.com

San Francisco, CA - February 28, 2001 - CustomWeather, the leading supplier of syndicated weather data to internet and wireless markets announced today that it has been selected to provide custom weather forecasts for NectarSector, Inc., an e-learning site offering lifestyle classes online.

"What we're most excited about is that CustomWeather's service allows us to offer weather with a quality and scope of coverage that we couldn't find by linking to major weather sites," according to Andrew Williams, CEO of NectarSector. "Now, instead of steering users to another site when they inevitably need this information, we can cost effectively offer high quality weather content on our own site while enhancing the NectarSector.com brand."

Geoff Flint, CEO of CustomWeather, comments, "We're excited to be featured on NectarSector.com. Our detailed forecasting information and extensive coverage of cities makes us a clear choice for companies that cater to sports- and lifestyle-oriented audiences. NectarSector saw the benefit to hosting weather right away. Weather is the most popular area of most web sites. It just didn't make sense to direct all that site traffic to someone else's web site."

CustomWeather's forecasting services are designed specifically for use on the Internet, and on wireless phones and devices. CustomWeather provides valuable data such as comprehensive current condition reports, two-day detailed forecasts, seven-day extended forecasts, ski resort updates, marine forecasts and airport delay forecasts for over 58,000 cities worldwide, including more than 28,000 cities in the U.S. CustomWeather can supply its content as raw data files via FTP in formats such as XML or ASCII, giving clients total control of the look and feel of the weather content on their site.
