I can tell your team has put a lot of time into this. It's interesting and possibly very valuable. My feedback below:
1. Orange County is NOT Los Angeles! :-) If you're trying to not clutter up the map with too many dots then maybe pick state first, then zoom in and present regions/counties within the state. I was almost disinterested in it until I figured out the regions within the region!
2. If I click the dot twice, make the div disappear or reappear. I had to click on a different dot to get to the one I really wanted again (e.g. click Los Angeles, then click San Diego, then try to click Los Angeles again)
3. The div with the tweets in them is somewhat strange when hidden. Too much is showing or something. Maybe it's just the ugly arrow to expand???
4. The floating tip helper is distracting. Can't you must make a static info bar or something? I dunno, maybe just me.
5. The region ul - where you give extra regions - make it a little prettier. Everything else looks so polished, and then that list looks not so polished. Make it look nice like the "Happy Hour, Specials, Live Music...."
6. I'm wondering if the UI would be more "natural" if you had a static div along top with the logo/region/info bar and facebook and add venue buttons. Then, on left, just have the categories and the pop-out div for tweets. This would allow you to reduce the width of the main div quite a bit and might end up with just as much (or more) map space. But specifically, I think this would be more visually appealing to the eye. Surround the entire map a border of some sort that's blackish in color like your main div. It will feel more like an app then. TO ME!
Hope this helps. Congrats! A good idea and a lot of work. Very promising.
p.s. - All my input from web app on chrome browser.
