Show HN: My weekend project - NewsMap

First off, great concept. Always wanted to see a better version of <a href="http://www.world-newspapers.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.world-newspapers.com</a> to get a local perspective on international events.<p>However, I'm noticing some errors in matching sites to locales, e.g. US &#62; CA &#62; Fillmore (San Francisco Downtown) maps to the San Luis Obispo times.<p>Also, might want to consider tweaking the name to avoid confusion with the popular NewsMap [<a href="http://www.newsmap.jp" rel="nofollow">http://www.newsmap.jp</a>].

Poorly drawn US map detracts greatly from your excellent effort.<p>For example here's how the state of Michigan should look:<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NvbQgmBVvV4/TyGBIIw0a5I/AAAAAAAAA5w/GiBrMxvTAT8/s1600/1194984363325253051state_of_michigan_kevin__01.svg.png" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NvbQgmBVvV4/TyGBIIw0a5I/AAAAAAAAA5...</a>

Suggestion: Rather than a "Go" button column, turn the newspaper names into links to the newspaper sites.

Nice. You need a new name, though: <a href="http://newsmap.jp/" rel="nofollow">http://newsmap.jp/</a>

Cool! Great use of some client and server technologies. Makes me feel lazy for boozing all weekend!

Looks nice - though I noticed one issue with my locality specifically; Staten Island seems to just be "New York (Staten" in the database, and the one entry is actually for Oneida NY, while the Staten Island Advance (silive.com) is missing.

Nice!<p>Have you seen <a href="http://newspapermap.com/" rel="nofollow">http://newspapermap.com/</a>, which builds on <a href="http://www.google.com/fusiontables/Home/" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/fusiontables/Home/</a>?

It's got some incorrect data.<p>Sacramento's largest newspaper, the Sacramento Bee, is listed as a magazine. Sacramento Magazine, on the flip-side, is listed as a newspaper.

Look, There's 2 France in your Map! :) <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/149780/shared/2france.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/149780/shared/2france.jpg</a>

Very Nice! Would love to see some news snippets from the sources within the page before landing on the actual site.

Great work. Clean UI. Would suggest a basic check on the news links ... I tried a bunch that didn't work.

We'd love to hook you up with an account so you can integrate screenshots of these urls.

Very cool - where are you getting your data (links, location, language, etc.)?

nice work, clean ui, i am curious too about the data source. I also set up a news web app too, with a facebook timeline: <a href="http://www.popbuzz.me" rel="nofollow">http://www.popbuzz.me</a>

Someone deformed poor Michigan..

there are 2 Warsaws in Poland on your list: Warsaw and Warsaw-Varsovia
