The article is about the data that can be downloaded not the web service.

[OSGeo-Discuss] RE: Yahoo Geoplanet Versus GeoNames

[Connors, Bernie (SNB)]

I believe there is an error in the article from cosmocode:
http://www.cosmocode.de/en/blog/schoenborn/2010-01/24-free-geo-data-solutions-compared-geonames.org-vs.-yahoo-geoplanet

It says that Yahoo GeoPlanet does NOT Provide Geo coordinates but this link 
from GeoPlanet does show coordinates:
http://isithackday.com/geoplanet-explorer/index.php?woeid=2500105

Perhaps GeoPlanet has been updated since the cosmocode article was written.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Yahoo Geoplanet Versus GeoNames

I found this web page useful. I thought I would share it:

http://www.cosmocode.de/en/blog/schoenborn/2010-01/24-free-geo-data-solutions-compared-geonames.org-vs.-yahoo-geoplanet

It goes over some of the similarities and differences between geonames and 
yahoo geoplanet.
