Mmm… weather.com
April 12th, 2005

DR has decided to resurrect the “File This Under WTF?” feature. It might become even more popular than the “If I Worked at the Magnolia Bakery” feature. Imagine!
I’m obsessed with The Weather Channel’s weather.com. It’s my top bookmark (have fun guessing what the rest of those acronyms stand for, above) and it’s set to display the 10-day forecast for my zip code. Try it. You’ll love it. And if you love breadcrumbs as much as I do, you’ll especially love it, because the 10-day option seems to respond some sort of applet (Ha! I have no clue what “applet” even means and am 100% sure I am using it incorrectly) called “breadcrumb.” WTF?
Ideally, “breadcrumb” would change to a user’s most current craving by reading its mind. Someone needs to invent that. Hello! Technology! Let’s go. In 2020, my navigation bar better say this…
![]()
…which could easily apply to any moment in my life.
Pretty sure I was out of the loop as usual on what was probably a really basic computer term, I got the whole staff together for some intense research. A quick Google inquiry for “weather.com breadcrumb” returned a few sites that talk about “Breadcrumb Navigation.” Sounds official, and nerdy. That’s as far as DR likes to go in our research (the interns and I aren’t really into going the extra click), so we’re not offering any more than that. Sorry. We’re sure it’s not very interesting. But seeing if anyone finds this site by Googling the same thing should be. We can add it to our impressive list of the searches we dominate, like the gems “see buttcrack” and “bermuda shorts lyrics.”
