   That was a bleature, but we could re-introduce something like that down the road (we've gotten a number of requests for it).

   All of the above (except selling) have presented themselves as opportunities in the last few weeks.

   Not to sound more successful than we are :-), but since it's the kind of thing folks on here might like to know ... if we made it any more visible it would probably not be a good thing at this point.

   We have that. That's actually how we 'got big' (although we're still very small compared to the NHC, CNN, etc.). http://stormpulse.wordpress.com/stormpulse-api/

   I grew up in South Florida, so I figured it would be popular down here. But we are blown away lately by the amount of nation-wide and international interest. TV stations in Washington state have hurricane coverage. Who'd have thought tha

   I don't know for sure. I imagine there were a number of things not working in our favor. I don't want to suggest anything unfounded, but what I can say for sure is that I wasn't willing to move to Boston/SF (I am happily married with two

   Thanks. My friend (who is joining the Stormpulse effort) submitted this article but the site was co-founded by myself and another fellow out of Chicago. Just as a bit of background, we started collecting data for this in 2004.

    It's not only because it's different than Google, it's because it's not explained, i.e. they make a poor assumption: namely, that the interface they're presenting contains enough information for me to make a good decision. I don't find tha

    I am not finding Viewzi to be very intuitive. This is not what I expect from a search results page: http://www.viewzi.com/search/hurricane%20tracking What am I supposed to do next?

    Part of the beauty, for me at least, is that 'restaurant reservations' is a likely-to-be-overlooked problem in the Web 2.0 era. I mean, where's the social networking component?! Can you friend other reservers?! Oh wait, you're going to e

    Why don't parents home-school their kids all the way through college? Two main reasons, from what I can tell: 1) most (if not all) quality employers require a degree; 2) parents feel (and often are) incapable of teaching advanced material

    May I encourage you to raise your vision from "having kids" to something more meaningful? Maybe we could call it raising children to maturity. You will never have a chance at impressing anyone as deeply as those you call your children. A

    I almost always write tweets beginning with 'is...'. I use twitter as a substitute for blogging, which I can't possibly commit to (takes me too long to write a post).

    "sure has some cool link on his site" Do people really use 'link' in the singular form instead of plural to mean 'linkage' in some sort of Web-2.01 slang that I'm out-of-touch with?!

    Although, to be fair, I hear they have fixed quite a few memory leaks this time around: "Over 300 individual memory leaks have been plugged..." ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b1/releasenotes/ )

    This is really interesting, because right now I use a very small wireless travel mouse. Actually, I've ditched it and have begun mousing with my feet: http://www.bilila.com/foot_mouse_slipper_mouse From 2000-2006 I used the MS Intellimous

    It's a 50/50 split between typical Win PC's, and yes, MacBook Pros. I use a MacBook Pro. Perhaps there is a correlation.
