Why your site no work?

I refresh three times before it find location.

Then, it finally find me, and all I get is a spinner arrow.

I am disappoint :(

Well, there's a lot of factors here... HTML5 Geolocation is not very accurate if the device doesn't have a GPS. You can always enter your location manually from tne settings pane (the more specific you are the better). If the app got stuck at "looking for data around you" then one of the services (twitter, instagram, foursquare or youtube) failed and the app tries to get results from the services again. Sorry if your expirience wasn't good :(
Being stuck in an endless loop is not a good way of informing the user of what's gone wrong.
Your'e right... I'll work on this as soon as I can!
