never tell if it will grow, mature and/or play nice with other apps. Does
anyone have a better feeling about Yahoo's services and strategy?

It goes over some of the similarities and differences between geonames
and yahoo geoplanet.

It says that Yahoo GeoPlanet does NOT Provide Geo coordinates but this link
from GeoPlanet does show coordinates:
