Matt, Thank you. That is a clear answer. It must also explain why there are no places yet in cities such as Marseilles, France. As you can probably guess I found this out because I plan to launch internationally. In fact I hope http://ratecred.com is one of those "providers" that adds great quality content to your places database. Here are a couple of follow ups if I can have them:
Is there a way that I can get a schedule or RSS feed of these data migrations, as well as the availability of places in international locations? (Such as France, Germany, Spain , Italy, Israel)? It would also be good to know well as what areas are not "read only" now if possible. We are doing a *very strong* twitter integration, and think we will be a great partner.
