New weather system in place, and other tidbits.

Weather: Thanks for all your feedback about our broken weather. Rest assured - we already knew it wasn’t always Sunny in Philadelphia…

After many problems with Weather.com’s XML API, we have ditched them. The problem was that it never worked 100% - some zip codes would update, and others wouldn’t. We made a call to Accuweather.com and they were happy to partner with us. Thanks to the guys there for the great help.

Restaurants: You will now notice that the restaurant directory shows you which restaurants are already your favorite - and lets you add/remove them here. We felt this was easier than forcing you to the control panel whenever you want to remove a restaurant.

Oooo Tabs: Minor detail, but we added background color to all inactive tabs on the homepage. It just looks better.

In the works: We’re giving away rewards for those of you who spread CampusLIVE to your friends. The system will be simple - enter your friends email address or give them a link on AIM. Depending on how many of your friends join, you’ll earn various rewards. Gifts include ITunes giftcards, t-shirts, shotglasses and other CL schwag..
