Re: AIM now bundling weatherbug... ugh sorry you don't like WeatherBug, but it's NOT spyware.
why don't you go to www.weatherbug.com/notspyware where we offer 4 FREE downloads to some of the most popular ANTI-spyware programs. if we were spyware, I guess that would be pretty dumb. let's see- spybot, adaware, spykiller, pest patrol, webwasher, spysweeper. nope, none of them list WeatherBug. neither does kephyr.com or spyware-guide.com
it's only folks on bulleting boards like this, maybe working for our competitors, who continue to spread this myth. and it's getting tiresome. folks, 30 million people (before AIM), 6500 schools, some of the largest universities (maryland, wisconsin, byu, texas, penn= you've heard of those schools, right??) all use our weather stations. and the dept. of homeland security relies on our LIVE, LOCAL weather if God forbid there's another terrorist attack. because unlike other free programs, we have 7000 stations- most other free programs have a few hundred, all at airports, that only update once an hour. wow, that's not live, nor is it local.
the choice is yours- if you want other weather programs from the airport, that's your choice. BUT DO NOT CALL US SPYWARE when every major, reputable anti-spyware tracking program doesn't list us.
thanks!
