Wow, another cool idea introduced at Chirp (was it?). Honestly, I'd
just love a free (beer) geocoding service that didn't force me to use
google maps.
Twitter has helped me make $10 so far (woohoo!); perhaps as I make more
with it I'll actually be able to afford going to Chirp! 8-)))

really - i think that's just too formal. just mail the list, or hit
me/marcel up over email.
Part of this stems from my concern over something I thought I heard
yesterday about Twitter building its own "place" database. There are
dozens of place databases - why does Twitter need another one?
honestly, of all the place databases out there, none of them fit our
needs. none of them have the combination of unrestrictive licensing +
data and IDs for countries going down to neighborhoods (arbitrarily
sized things) + have the ability for creation, updating, etc. we are
building something that will be available through the API that the
entire ecosystem can use (and, not just for tweeting), so its a fairly
unique set of constraints.
