"With over 4,500 registrations in 48 hours, WeatherBug's popularity has exceeded our expectations" said Kevin Daly, KXAN Webmaster. "We've seen a sharp increase in the number of banner ad impressions and traffic to our web site. It really is spreading like a Bug - even the local morning radio DJ's are talking about it. This is definitely a killer app!"

Chief Meteorologist, Jim Spencer said, "WeatherBug is spreading like wildfire here in Austin. It's the latest phenomenon. Everybody just loves it. They are raving about how WeatherBug keeps them updated on weather events coming their way. One viewer even said it's like having her TV on at work. WeatherBug is just one more way we can offer our viewers the latest in weather technology and give them the weather coverage they count on."
