ThnLnk Blog

Oh, so I just wrote that some updates would be in the “future,” but it looks like the future is now. Ever wake up in the morning and you want to check the weather or traffic in your neighborhood? You *could* bookmark Weather.com or Google Maps, or keep them in del.icio.us, or go to the web sites and look them up… Or you could use ThnLnk’s “API.” (I use “API” in quotes because it’s not a super-special, technical, overhead-heavy, hard to use “real” programming API. (Though technically, it *is* an API.))

This URL brings up the weather (”w”) for my zip code (”02140″). Ta-da! It’s not super-complicated, but it just might make a few peoples’ lives a little bit easier–including mine, which is important to me.

Other shortcuts—I leave those up to you to decipher:
