What's the advantage over a simple GEO microformat? http://microformats.org/wiki/geo http://microformats.org/wiki/geo

  You as a publisher or a consumer don't have to actually DO anything, you give it a chunk of text and it figures out what place you're talking about. (This is awesome.)

    Thank you for the clarification: this is a lot different from explicitely specify GEO coordinates...

  Um, what? This parses geoinformation from data. If your data has microformatted geoinformation, it will probably find that, too.

    But if your "geo information" comes from a random web browsing person who lives in "Sunnyvale, CA", this service can tell you the long/lat ... It is the "unstructured" plain text input that people will appreciate about this service.
