Re:IBM to Acquire the Weather Company by cryptoz on Wednesday October 28, 2015 @01:14PM (#10465831)
There has been significant consolidation in the weather industry over the last 10-20 years, and it's a very interesting space right now with smartphones coming online as weather sensors. IBM's acquisition of The Weather Company is the joining of two huge behemoths, I wonder how well they can work together.

> The company also has a popular mobile app, which Mr. Kenny said collected barometric pressure from its users’ phone sensors. Millions of locations are turning in information 96 times a day.

Fascinating...The new-weather startups like Sunshine and PressureNet are going to be watching this closely.
