Dopplr Weather Wordpress Widget
Dopplr Weather
I heard of dopplr after I was searching for a Wordpress plugin like WP-DOPPLR ( http://www.rodenas.org/blog/2007/10/0... ) I signed up with Dopplr. Great widget for wordpress! What would like to know is whether there is a widget out there that shows the weather of your doppler location?
Thanx

Hi Scooter,
There's a much longer answer to this but basically it boils down to one thing: there is no freely accessible service that provides reliable, global weather information--be it current, forecast or historical--that we can hook into in a way that would be satisfactory as a "product offering". At least there wasn't the last time we checked...
The problem gets worse when you figure that every weather data provider uses a different, often in-house, identification scheme for places, none of which correspond point-for-point with geographical place identifiers.
I did find one or two that offer Lat/Long based searching, but their APIs are closed/commercial, if they exist at all.
Thanks for the inquiry. Believe me, we would *love* to see it too, and the sooner the better. The more folks ask for it, the closer we might get.
best,
B.

Inappropriate?I don't know of any at the moment. It's a good idea, though, and we'll see what we can find. We're working on how to get weather information with Dopplr trip info inside our site, meanwhile.
