Shootout At The (Checking If The Weather Is) OK Corral …

Posted by: PatrickJ on May 20 2008

shootouts 

Here it is.  High Noon at the MTS Corral.  We’re standing at the crossroads in the center of town.  Ahead of us, the doors to the saloon swing open as our first competitor strides into the street…Fizz Weather.  The wind starts to blow gently, just enough for a tumbleweed to kick up some dust on the far side of town …

I’m betting that many of you very much enjoyed Doug Goldring’s flair for the dramatic (with a slice of humor thrown in) in his reviews, as so nicely displayed in the above excerpt, as well as some of those epic Head-to-Head reviews that he and Lauren have done here at JAMM. 

I know I always have - so it’s great to see that over at MyTodayScreen Doug and his colleagues have started a ‘Shootouts’ series, where they’ll regularly be matching up the leading contenders in specific application categories and giving their verdict on which one is the current champ.

The first in the series throws weather apps into the ring - three excellent and popular ones in this case, Spb Weather, Fizz Weather, and SBSH’s Pocket Weather.  It’s a great first entry in a series that I know I’ll be following and looking forward to.

Head over HERE to check out the weather apps shootout and find out who ended up winning it …
