Weather.com’s odd priorities
Written by on February 14th, 2007 in Ajax News.
How come when I search for Chicago or Tucson or any other US city on Weather.com I don’t get a single pixel of weather data on the results screen?
I get links for ski forcasts. Links if I’m getting married. Links to traffic information. Links to city parks. Links to lawn & garden resources. But no temperature, no precipitation, no forecast.
If I search for a specific zip code I do get weather, but searching for a city name gives me just a list of matches (the first one is the one I want 99% of the time). Just show me the weather and give me the other links and matches as secondary options, not primary suggestions.
Who’s making decisions over there?
