Weatherlet.com Weather in a Flash

by Derek Anderson	Stumble this!	August 21st 2007

Weatherlet.com weather widget is a cool looking 3D display of current conditions and a 5 day outlook.
Each day’s forecast also acts as a link to a more detailed forecast. As of the writing of this post I haven’t been able to access the more detailed weather information. But I do know it’s there because i have seen it earlier this month.

Appearance
All this information is presented in a slowly revolving display that shows depth. I think it’s cool! 3D is very underutilized on the Internet and especially in the widgetsphere.

Customizations
There are no options other than inputing your desired zip code. This is a Flash widget which opens up more placement options. Should be Mysapce friendly and I’ll tag and categorize it as such.

Opinion
Yes this is a cool widget with a 3d aspect. However, your readers really don’t care too much what the weather is like in your neighborhood (unless they live next door) I would at least like to see the ability to check my weather in my area without leaving the current page. Some weather animations might be a cool addition as well. Such as lightning, thunder, wind or even snow. (did i say snow?)
It’s still a decent start though. But I think in order to go mainstream, more unique features need to be incorporated into this widget.

Is there any way to just get the html code? I would really like to have this revovling weather widget, but am having trouble getting it when it says “copied to your clipboard”. Could you email me the html code? Thks!

I’m having the same problems with weatherlet… When you click on Copy code it will tell you “copied to your clipboard” but the clipboard is empty and has not copied anything.
