geocoder

Alex Reisner sent in an email last week letting us know about his Geocoder gem for Rails. Like a lot of other libraries out there, it can give you lat. and long. for an address and provides you with helpers for finding nearby locations. But, unlike many others, it's database agnostic, which means you can easily use it in a local Sqlite development database.
