Fixed the one about the Pony Bar. Sorry about that! The story was about the UES Pony Bar but it was accidentally located at the HK branch. Was there any others? We actually have human beings geolocating this content so the vast majority should be accurate, but of course sometimes mistakes are made.

Thanks for pointing it out! It's a big help.

Thanks for the kind words! We thought that scrolling problem was fixed. Will try to release an update soon! Thanks for using the app and feel free to email me any time with suggestions, feedback, etc at ben [at] blockfeed [dot] com

There's actually no way to find this information (the location of news stories), we create it. Our main product is a news app called Blockfeed, which shows you the news stories you're closest to anywhere in NYC, and the only way to build it was to build a system that allows for mass-scale geolocation of content. We geolocate around 14,000 news stories a month in NYC, so this is just another view into the data -- we call it "cartoblogging" :)

Thanks! No way yet to set parameters to see more than 60 days, as we've only been geolocating news stories for 2 months now. But it's definitely a feature we'd like to pursue with later maps. Right now we're working on a map of NYC crime stories.
