We have come a long way since then and we're trying to look at the most interesting geo data sets out there to make them available through our flexible query API (https://mingle.io/api). We've already extracted almost 8 million POIs from the OpenStreetMap into a straightforward tabular structure for fast lookups (~200ms with regular expressions and distance calculation, see example <https://mingle.io/explore>). Right now we are looking to extract other information from OSM (possibly a complete list of addresses together with a string fuzzy match functionality) or even provide the whole OSM data with this query functionality. I'd be happy to hear your feedback or if you know about an interesting large Geo Open Dataset I'd be happy to take a look at it an import it to our service so developers can write arbitrary queries and now only use the predefined API access paths.
