Wunderground.com bought out by The Weather Channel

This makes me so sad. And yet, so happy that I have Storm2k. Please don't sell out to TWC.

It's true. After 17 years as an independent company, Weather Underground has been sold, and will now be part of The Weather Channel Companies (TWCC.) As one of the founders of Weather Underground, I am excited about embarking upon this new chapter in our company's history. Having the infrastructure, resources, and content of The Weather Channel Companies will enable wunderground to create some great new products, and improve the quality and reliability of our existing content. We will now be called Weather Underground, LLC, and will maintain the wunderground.com web site as it is.

TWC knows quality when it sees it. That's all I'm going to say.

Yes but does Wundeground recognize shoddy quality when they see it? That's all I'm going to say!

WUnderground just got ruined

I say congrats to them. They started a website on something they love and probably sold it for a few million dollars. Good for them. Plus they still get to run it.

Temporarily.
