Known Bugs

• We have experimental branches for Facebook & Twitter APIs that are not functional due to authentification errors.
• In the UI, when the height of the viewport changes size, the event result div superimposes onto the blue form div.
• There is overflow text for the results of the PredictHQ API, so there is currently a scroll bar at the bottom of the column to account for that.
• The Eventbrite events have to manually updated becasue the API doesn't allow for dynamic search capability.
