I'm a little biased, and this has nothing to do with couchdb, but I might recommend using the Yelp API for your businesses. If you use the Phone number API (http://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/phone_api) you can a lot of good 'place' metadata as well as a unique id. > PD: bonus question, I'm planning to use Python and Django for the app, > what's the recommended couchdb module for py? The couchdb python library (http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/) seems to best from my perspective (not django). Some of the others do more ORM type stuff for you, which might be more useful for django I dunno.
