Does Google has a service similar to Yahoo! Placemaker:

  1. Developers specify structured and unstructured content; feeds, web pages, news, status articles, etc.

  2. Placemaker identifies, disambiguates and extracts places

  3. Placemaker returns geographic metadata, which determines the whereness of structured and unstructured content

?

Thanks

PlaceMaker became PlaceSpotter in 2012. The Yahoo! BOSS APIs (including PlaceSpotter) are shutting down on March 31, 2016. If you're looking for a replacement or alternative, you should check out the open source project CLAVIN or the recently-launched Geoparser.io API.

I don't think so, and I would be scared when it happens. Skynet won't be far off.. ;)

It sounds very similar to Reuters OpenCalais: http://www.opencalais.com/
