What Twitter can't do for your forecasting career

Twitter is where you reach people. ForecasterHQ is where you keep them — and prove you know what you're talking about.

Subscribers you actually own

Twitter followers belong to Twitter. ForecasterHQ subscribers get email notifications you control — no algorithm filter.

Permanent forecast record

Tweets disappear in the feed. ForecasterHQ preserves every forecast with timestamps, status, and verification data.

Interactive maps, not screenshots

Stop posting cropped screenshots. Publish interactive, zoomable forecast maps your audience can explore.

Proof you were right

NWS observations automatically verify your predictions. Your track record is visible, not buried in old threads.

Professional portfolio

Your ForecasterHQ profile shows your full forecast history — pending, active, verified. Not a feed of mixed content.

Discoverable by search

Your profile ranks in weather search results. Tweets are invisible to Google within hours.

Use both. They're complementary.

Keep tweeting — Twitter is where your audience finds you. But link your ForecasterHQ profile in your bio. When people click, they see your coverage map, your track record, and a subscribe button. You convert followers into subscribers you own.
