GeoPlanet Explorer dive into the depth of our geographic data - Yahoo prototypt eine Art Geo-Explorer.

All of this is freely available to you. However, this breadth of data is not that obvious, which is why Gary Gale, director of engineering in Yahoo!‘s Geo Technology group, came by my desk the other day and asked me to “build something cool with GeoPlanet data.” A few lines of PHP (and a solution using YUI and YQL) later, I am happy to present to you the GeoPlanet Explorer.
