The map maker references using the Twitter API to create the maps. You can read a bit more about identifying places though the API documentation at the like below. Hope this helps.

There was a very good paper given at TRB last week on the use of
Twitter for public transport agencies, here's the reference:
Title: Novel Transit Rider Satisfaction Metric: Riders' Sentiments
Measured from Online Social Media Data (TRB Paper Number: 12-0675)
The goal of this paper is to use an emerging data source, Twitter, and
conduct sentiment analysis to evaluate transit riders satisfaction.
Transit authorities have access to vast amounts of performance metrics
that measure ridership, timeliness, efficiency, safety, cleanliness,
and service to name a few. These performance metrics, however, are
generally one-sided; they represent the interests of the business and
are not customer based. This paper recognizes the limitations of
standard performance metrics and attempts to gauge transit riders
sentiment by measuring Twitter feeds. Sentiment analysis software is
used to classify a population of riders sentiment over a period of
time. Conclusions are drawn from totals of positive and negative
sentiment, normalized average sentiment, and the total number of
Tweets collected over a time period.
