Howler

HOWLER aims to create a new real-time communication channel for local messages sent by your friends and neighbors nearby, or organizations and businesses wanting to reach a specific geographical location, whether it's a street corner, of an entire city. We are integrated with a number of feeds: CHPD, LAFD, Police scanners, USGIS for quake alerts, and local businesses. We are working on partnerships to add more location-specific feeds, as well as an API to let 3rd-parties use our channel.
