1) My side project is http://geocod.io

2) It started out because I needed to geocode a large set of addresses for another side project. Ended up building a geocoder and realized that others might find it useful too

3) Making geocoding affordable to the masses and having built something to be proud of. Continuously learning new things because of it too.

That's a really good idea! I've had to deal with API limits countless times and it sucks.

For some projects I had to geocode with multiple providers. Bing seems to be better than Google at geocoding in some parts of the county. I esp. noticed it in the Midwest / Illinois.
