Nokia Widsets and Foreca makes the weather sexy

Rating: cool as a cucumber

Nokia has announced that it has 1 million registered users on its Widsets service. Widsets are widgets for mobile. They can be downloaded from the Widsets website to mobile for easy access to the service.

Foreca
So I saw the Foreca Widset today on the Nokia site and I remembered a great story and would like to highlight how the weather can be very, very sexy.

At Orange Partner Camp I was offered a taxi ride to the airport by an impressive woman. This woman turned out to be Tiina Asula, Sales Director at Foreca. Foreca is a mobile weather company. Initially, I thought “oh no” when she offered me a demo.

But I shouldn’t have done because Foreca boasts by far the most appealing, fun and interactive (YES, INTERACTIVE) weather service I have ever seen. She even used it to tell me the weather of what it would be like in Frankfurt when I landed.

After the demo I could vision a mobile community of weather nerds - but, why not?
