Weather.com’s Travel Inspiring Content?
In the last few months, Weather.com has had several interesting travel-related posts. I don’t really think of them as a content site, I mostly just want to know if it’s going to rain, snow, or boil at my destination, but they’ve come up with some fun stuff.

Earlier this summer they covered Nine Exotic Fruits You’ve Never Heard of. I momentarily felt very worldly and experienced when the first two were fruits I was familiar with from my Asia travels — the dragon fruit and the carambola. Of course that quickly subsided when most of the others were completely unknown to me…Guess I need to step up my South America travel!

Weather.com has been ruined by all of this “content”. I go there for there the weather, not to see a list of the 10 greatest blah blah blah…
I get startled by those videos that auto load on the site. Oh boy.
