Want a little weather with your chat? Custom Weather, a provider of syndicated global weather data, is providing personalized weather information for more than 58,000 locations into the Jabber instant-messaging product.
The weather information is provided as part of Jabber's Extensible IM product, where a CustomWeather tab will be integrated into custom-built clients. The same model can be used to integrate other custom HTML and XML data into custom clients.
"Combining desktop access to relevant weather information with something as real-time as instant messaging is a natural fit," says Geoff Flint, CEO of CustomWeather.
Capabilities of the CustomWeather tab include access to some of the most comprehensive global weather available today -- weather for more than 58,000 locations can be accessed via the CustomWeather tab. Weather provided includes 48-hour detailed forecasts, extended forecasts, severe weather alerts, maps, climate data and more.
