Editor review
Free and very useful
Bamboo’s World Clock and Weather web part is without a doubt one of the most popular free web parts for the SharePoint community. But being free is not the main reason why this web part is so good. It addresses a pretty basic need that SharePoint does not have out of the box. SharePoint is collaborative software intended to bridge the gap between remote locations within an organization or a network of people. This web part delivers a nice GUI display of time and weather and it helps keep all users connected to each others’ environments.

Bamboo Clock and weather web part
Its very useful and Freeware web Part. We can use this Web Part in Intranet Portals in SharePoint 2010.
Needs Internet Connection to work
This is a great Web Part, easy to install and easy to set up. Clear display. Alround, super, but connectivity requirements let it down.

Bamboo Clock and Weather SP2010
I recently installed this Bamboo web part on our 2010 environment. Bamboo has a nice install engine and you are able to install the webpart effortlessly in minutes. I installed both the time and weather as separate web parts on our homepage. Thanks Bamboo!

Very useful and users like it
We've been using this web part almost from day one on our project sites. We put it on the landing page so the project teams could see time, location, and weather which helped for people travelling to and from project location. It is a simple part that fits a basic need and has been really solid.
The only issue we've ever had is that some projects are out in very remote regions where the location is not recognized, but generally the nearest public city will be found. Pretty slick.
Oh yeah, its free too!

Bamboo Web Part - I love it
We have developed a CRM Template that runs on SharePoint and include the Bamboo Web Part with every system. Our client's love it and it really adds some flair to the personalized home pages.
As our clients are both around the globe and sell around the globe the fact they can set up the locations that have meaning to them is really handy.
With an ever expanding global network of commerce this Free handy web part from Bamboo is appreciated by all.

Works as advertised
I have a client who gets a lot of use out of this product. If you absolutely have to have this functionality on a SharePoint site, it does it.

All Round Info
Another useful freebie from Bamboo. Too busy really for my liking, but if your job includes a lot of worldwide trade could be important.
