  1. Usability: I can click ""Current Chat"" when not in a chat and the resulting page will tell me that ""Something is wrong"", which isn't very descriptive (I think this occurs after a chat is over?). I can't quite get ""Search Feeds"" to work (doesn't appear to be a button that allows me to search, and pressing ""Enter"" doesn't work to search. It would be nice if the feed itself was more readable. It's difficult to pick out who wrote which message--there's nothing that makes the sender/location stand out. Given that this is deployed on the web it would make sense for the mouse to be able to move the map (external consistency). Once I click on the link on the feed to view the location of the tweet, I can no longer see the tweet, which could be problematic if I want to reference something that that person is saying as I look around.

    Thanks for all your hard work this term!
