Meteo·Mobile blog goes mobile

August 11th, 2010 — 6:38pm

I’m glad to have (finally) found a way to display our blog in a nice way on all your mobile smartphones, including the touch phones.

Give it a try next time you’re visiting from your Android, iPhone, Palm, Blackberry, or other smartphones or pda’s.

Alerts in your home page

August 8th, 2010 — 8:02am

There is a NEAT new feature on Meteo·Mobile for those of you who have configured Metar Alerts:

If an alert that you configured has been triggered in the last hour, the conditions for that airport will be highligted on your home page. Like this:

So, how do you configure alerts?

There are two ways:

  1. From any Metar report, click on the NEW: ALERT Set up for [ICAO] link.
  2. From your home page, go to Pilot Tools, and then Your Metar Alerts.

From now on, detecting which airports are under your own personal minimums will be easier than ever!

I really hope you like it!

Valued Users, please Register

We are proud to have an extensive base of loyal users.

One of the things we’ve always tried to avoid is user registration. We ourselves don’t like being forced to register in a page we visit just once in a while.

On the other hand, user registration yields lots of advantages to both the users and the ‘service providers’.

In our case, because we base lots of advantages (like showing your favourite airports up first) on cookies alone, you loose these advantages each time you delete your browsers cookies.

The only way for this not to happen is to have a unique idenifier for each user. Nowadays, the best unique identifier we can think of is a valid email address.

We’ve never spammed those users that trusted us their email address. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I sent an email to all of them. We usually only answer emails.

We have this blog as a means of comunication.

We’d like to ask those intensive users that come visit Meteo·Mobile quite often to Register. Hence, we’ve added a very small message asking for this.

In order to Register, all you need to do is visit Meteo·Mobile Registration Page. You may well end up discovering there are lots of options to choose there that you didn’t know of.

Thank you.
