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.
