The always engaging Rob Woodridge interviewed me on UNTETHER.tv.
Half way through the interview Rob and I got into a shouting match about the efficacy of hyperlocal LBS personalization marketing. He pulled a knife but I deftly disarmed him with my bandana. Somehow that all got cut from the video. Too bad. Made for good drama.
Jenn and Steph of the Weather Channel interviewed René Pinnell (CEO & Designer) about Forecast. When they asked René on the show we thought they were confused. We explained that Forecast has NOTHING to do with weather but they could not be deterred. See if you can spot Jenn’s hilarious eye-roll at the end. Not sure if she’s rolling her eyes at René or the infinite absurdity of TV “News.”

She loves magnets + reading on a Kindle and now she can add one more laurel to her career — writing a great post about Forecast. This is probably my favorite post so far about Forecast. Great use case.

“Last night I had plans to attend a movie premiere followed by drinks at an after party. I wasn’t sure who else was going to the after party and I wanted to make sure at least a few of my media savvy friends were in. So I opened the Forecast app, tapped the Forecast button and made it known to my Foursquare friends that I was hitting up Drinks at Denton’s at 10pm. Immediately, everyone using Forecast who’s also my Foursquare friend received a push notification of my plan. 5 minutes later, my friend Jenna shared that she was planning on going too. Sweet.” – Courtney Boyd Myers
The About Foursquare blog wrote a great post about Forecast.
“Forecast is easy to use and makes it fun to plan meetups with your friends, in a way that us less-spontaneous users can handle. Out in the suburbs, it’s hard to meet up with someone based purely on their foursquare checkin. They’ll likely be gone by the time you get in the car and get there. When I’ve got a little warning, I can make plans and be there at the same time they are.” – AboutFoursqaure
