Extracting what location a news article is about is fascinating work. Unlike geocoding you don't get a fixed query.
The only commercial solution I'm aware of is Yahoo!s PlaceSpotter (middle of the page https://developer.yahoo.com/boss/geo/). Yahoo uses it to better target ads against content, e.g. news articles. I'm sure Google has something similar in-house.

Looks great but you guys have a name conflict with a major bus provider up and down the east cost. http://www.vamoosebus.com/
Ha yes realized as much a few weeks after the hackathon. We're not planning to develop the idea further so not really an issue...
Dunno why but you seem to have a really bad Web of Trust score :( Results of a bad former owner of the domain?
Really good hack guys. Keep building it!
(I do agree the name is not great)
In typical hackathon fashion, the code got mangled when I had to switch the data store from leveldb (node) to flat json files (chrome extension) so the latest version in the repo isn't the most graceful. But here's a hacky node app for processing cities1000 data and then running mocha tests against a set of articles:

Hope someone finds the technique and code useful, interesting, or at least amusing.
