The following page has been changed by BritGardner:

+ = Using CouchDB For Storing Google Geocoded JSON Data =
  Google provides a free service that takes any string as an input and returns a bunch of JSON encoded data if that string matches a physical location.  Check it out here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding
  
  Unfortunately, Google's geocoding service is limited to 15k requests per day per IP.  Sounds like a lot, but for certain applications this limit can be reached very quickly.
