    I know you're a fan of "widget marketing" Pete, and while this was probably built by AccuWeather in less than a week at little cost, is there anybody who really believes that MySpace users are going to embed this in their profile and that users who come across these weather badges are going to actually use them? They're targeting a demographic that doesn't care.

    I have myspace, and I have embedded it and use it. You are obviously completely incorrect.

    I see the date on that last one is in 2006... Here I am it's 2007 and I'm looking for a weather link to add to "My" Myspace ... If you look into Myspace a little more, it's not just a bunch of dope smoke'n punk rockers and hoodlums or teenie boper's I have over 80 some friends there and most are in the fishing related buisness. I'm sure if half of them are like me, they then too look at the weather 1500 times a day to be sure of safety related issues before heading out on the water.

    If you spend any time at all with your friends on myspace and want up to the min. weather, why not just have it right there where you see it most.

    I think anti-widget is right about this one. Low cost, low risk, but probably also low-uptake. I can't picture the MySpace crowd jumping at the opportunity to add weather to their profiles.

    I am a motorcycle enthusiast and have 58 friends on Myspace- we check the weather daily too! I have been looking for a way to get weather on my myspace page.

    I just want to say I found this page because I was looking for just this. I've got friends around the country and around the world on myspace. I think it would be cool if they knew what the weather was doing in my part of the world (maybe it's the skier in me).
  • Marcus · 2 years ago
    Hey Joe. That's exactly the same reason I found this page. I was specifically looking for a weather badge (or something) to put on my myspace.
  • Clark Kent · 2 years ago
    Yup that's why I'm here too... Myspace isn't a demographic... I have friends in myspace that are 50 & 60 yrs old & I'm 34 yrs old. I too have friends in other countrys and think it would be somewhat cool for them to see my weather & time as well as I would like to see theres.

    Has anyone checked out netWeather Video? You can embed local forecasts in MySpace, Blogs, etc.

  • roni · 2 years ago
    I came across this site.. so, some of us want weather on our myspace page!! I wanted to brag to my family back in AK that Ive got GREAT weather ;)
  • Cockneystu · 2 years ago
    This i'd definately something I would embed on my myspace profile, the first comment on here is totally wrong, there are many myspace users that often ask me how the weather is where I am, well now they can find out easily enough, cheers accuweather
  • Shirley · 2 years ago

  • THANKU · 1 year ago
    I must say we finally got the weather in myspace. My website says thank you to hossmonkey. i cannot believe i just said that.
  • Carriss · 1 year ago
    I was specifically looking for something exactly like this. I tried the widget one but it kept loading the wrong city, so I came across this and so far it works great! I like the weather, and now my friends and family can enjoy seeing whenever they look at my page. And ya never know, maybe one of them will like it enough to add it to their page.
  • Todd · 1 year ago
    this will be cool if it works
