  When I want to know the forecast I always go to weather.com.  The last 
time I looked outside there was this very strange bright, shiny orb 
floating above and casting light down upon the landscape.  I've never been 
so shocked and scared in my life.  Perhaps I need to get out more in the 
daytime.

  Whether or not it should be on the companies main page might be worthy of 
an argument / discussion.

  I personally agree with this idea.  The home page is ( most likely ) 
going to be the one that gets the most hits on the site.  Do you really 
want an up-to-date stock ticker and up-date weather forecast on the home 
page?  I would expect both to be high traffic features.
