Geocoding addresses for venue search

[Doug Pfeffer]

Hey,
How are people deriving lat/long points for the venue search? I think
I'm going to try out the API for this service: http://worldkit.org/geocoder/
Someone suggested using Google in a previous related thread. Any other
ideas?

Thanks,
Doug

there's always yahoo and bing too

two new players in this space you can try: geoapi.com (recently picked
up by twitter) and simplegeo (still in closed beta)

Nice, thanks, I'll check those out. After poking around a bit more,
Yahoo Placemaker also looks good. It geocodes but it does a bunch
more, too.
