Hello, Daniel. It's a start, fer sure, but there are quite a few WTFs in there. A couple of NYers are now near Phoenix, AZ, and one Floridian is now in Panama (the country).
Very promising, though. And thanks for the Google Fusiontable pointer. I've been looking to do something similar with some of my spreadsheets. Very helpful!

Steve & Richard,
Thanks for the feedback.
Quite a few of the addresses in the spreadsheet result in an "ambiguous"
geocoding when I import the data. I had massaged the spreadsheet
beforehand to give the tool something more to chew on but it's only as
good as the data it's given.

It's interesting that the "cards" tab on that link you provided, when filtered for state (I just did AZ) doesn't have any errors. The map however is throwing some NYers into AZ - damn it, they're everywhere! 
I wonder if extraneous and wayward punctuation might be throwing the mapping function for a loop? Eliminating unnecessary periods, commas and line breaks would be a start and simple enough to do.
The card tabs is a huge improvement by itself, a correct map would be icing on the cake, sugar in the coffee, hot fudge on the ice cream - making you hungry, Dan, aren't I?

I guess I'm missing something. I'm in the data list but not on the map (Huntsville, AL). It only shows 4 people in Alabama and there are more than that. ???

Looks like it doesn't include entries that only have cities and not street
addresses.

Although my business address is out on the internet, I'm not particularly interested in posting my street address on an open forum.

Looks like it shows you and a lot of others in wrong State. Has you in Oklahoma.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I found this tool today and so I wanted
to try it. There are limitations, obviously. Again, it is working from
the data from the Blacklist Excel. My Dad's address is two houses ago,
so if that's what's in the list then that's what will be on the map.
Also, if there is no street address, it hits the first "Jamestown" it
finds. I'm running another iteration with the Excel massaged yet again
to see if it helps. Stay tuned!

I'm generating a new map. There are 7 in AL. Two are in Auburn so the
dots coincide. You're in Harvest, AL but for some reason, it pops up in
OK. Use the filter option on the left. Feedback is welcome!

You have a full address in the Blacklist, so it's out there whether
business or home. This is beta software so I'm trying to wrestle it into
submission...
