Just three weeks ago we released our weather widget (Weather by W.a.R) as a Google gadget. Just before launch we defined some general goals and a loose release schedule for future updates. In that very short time our predictions, projections and goals have all been completely shattered leaving us only one choice... release version 1.1 early and recalculate!
Before we talk features though, lets talk numbers. In three weeks we've reached several milestones well ahead of our projected schedule.
- 10,000+ Unique Visitors (3/11/2009)
- 25,000+ Page Views (3/11/2009)
- 1,500+ Unique Visitors in a single day (3/9/2009)
We've successfully delivered weather conditions and forecasts to over 10,000 people in more than 600 different regions around the world largely in part to our wonderful fans on Blogspot.
To show our appreciation and ongoing dedication to making Weather by W.a.R the best weather widget on the block we are proud to announce the following new features in version 1.1:
- Powerful embedding options (for Blogspot users) including:
- Location - define a custom default location for your visitors.
- Lock - lock the gadget so users see your location (instead of their own).
- Theme - choose from different weather icon sets to give your widget a more personalized touch (more themes coming soon).
- Size - choose between "standard" and "mini" for the perfect fit in your page.
- Speed Enhancements.
- Freedom to embed multiple instances on a page (requires use of the "Lock" feature).
- Same simple interface and fast performance!
